Dear jason£¬

            First£¬ I feel very upset for my OS is Win7.
            But I still try to check the Cygwin setup back up as you
advise. There are indeed two little items remained "skip". After
reinstallation of the Cygwin, the error is gone.
            I have learnt the lesson again: "Be careful whatever you do."
            But unfortunately I encounter a new error:
           Applying AmberTools12 patches
           Error or warning during patching process for
.patches/AmberTools_Unapplied_Patches/bugfix.4:
           4 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
AmberTools/test/mmpbsa_py/08_Stability/FINAL_DECOMP_MMPBSA2.csv.save.rej
          I am approaching breakdown, maybe I should give up now.
