I've got Cygwin installed and added it's path to the system PATH variable,
as can be seen by the commands below. Yet, when I try to compile a simple
hello world file, I continue to get the error:

cs.c) HelloWorld October 22, 2005 10:35:36 AM 14

I'm using Eclipse 3.1.1 and CDT 3.0.0. Any assistance is greatly
appreciated!!! Thanks!

This may be too obvious, but a PATH env var change via the OS GUI won't
take effect in an already running app (Eclipse), including an already open
console window. If you're re-launching Eclipse after the PATH change,
you're not doing so from an existing console window, right? Also, try
copying the gcc.exe executable to c:\WINNT just as a test. It won't work
from there stand-alone, but you should at least see some difference that
will help you determine if your problem is indeed a PATH one.
