Netbeans/cygwin installation problem

In summary, the conversation is about a person trying to install and configure Cygwin with NetBeans on a second computer. They followed instructions from two different websites, but are getting an error when trying to compile a program. They have already tried re-installing and checking for any mishaps, but are still getting the same error. The expert summarizer suggests checking for any read-only permissions that may be causing the issue.

Hello, I'm a bit of a noob so bear with me. I have gotten all of this to work on one computer but on installing it on another computer I've run into problems. I followed the instructions at this link

http://royalexander.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/configuring-cygwin-cc-compiler-for-netbeans-65-under-windows/

to a tee but when I try to compile a program on NetBeans it gives the following error:

/bin/sh: .dep.inc: Permission denied
make: *** [.depcheck-impl] Error 1
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 765ms

I've done the installation over and was vigilant to not make silly mishaps and I still get the same error. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks for your help!

Looks like there's a file named ".dep.inc" that is either un-openable or missing. The first thing I do after an install is go to the top of the directory tree and un-set read-only permissions all the way down suing the properties panel in a file-manager program. Often when copying from {C,DV}D's files get stuck in read-only.
