Hello,there!Had anyone used PCASYS,an algorithm for fingerprint classification?

First,I installed the Cygwin library and associated tools (I must admitted that it was one of the most ambiguous installation instruction that I had read! Associated tools! What on earth tools should I install? Well,finally I managed to install all of them! It took me several days to find all of the tools!) in disk Fnot the system disk C,and the NFIS2 in disk F,too(path:F:\usr\local\nfis).
Because my OS is Window2000,I typied the following command:

sh setup.sh f:\usr\local\nfis

as the installation instruction told me,trying to convert directory and file names to lowercase characters. But it did not work,at all! Anything wrong?Must the install directory be C:?Or is the command wrong?
Second,When I got the executable files in the top-level bin directory(I got 54 executable files in Win2000,anything wrong?), I double ckicked the pcasys.exe.It disappeared quickly before I can notice. I tried to run it under the Cygwin.When I typied

/cygdrive/f/usr/local/nfis/bin/pcasys

,an error took place!
It told:

EROR:fopen_ch:fopen of /usr/local/nfis/pcasys/parms/oas.prs with type rb failed.

Even when I changed the file access permission,same error still happened and it still did NOT work!What shall I do? I wonder,if I should setup a project and put all the files ,which is relative to PCASYS,in it, then ,compile it again?
If I need not do such tedious work,what shall I do?
This question already drived me mad! I had spent a whole week to consider it!


And anyone know how to run an executable file(such as pcasys.exe) under Linux? I have tried ./pcasys,but the same error happens:
EROR:fopen_ch:fopen of /usr/local/nfis/pcasys/parms/oas.prs with type rb failed.
what shall I do?

Any suggestion are appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
