From a binary package, from a tarball, from a clone? If built, how did you build it? Any config.mak options, did you use ./configure, etc? What version of git is it? Is it possible for you to strace the clone process to see where it is trying to find index-pack? Something like: strace -f -e execve git clone should do it. > Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Is my only option to > completely scrap Git and try again? That might work, but if this is a bug in the build or installation system, it will be nice to track it down before you scrap the current setup. -Peff
