I wish I was like you hto, you've got all my admiration.

Frankly, I don't see here any offence. In my opinion, Gabriel responded more strongly than it was necessary. I replied frankly with what I initially thought he needed, his reply was: "...very funny... Any other suggestions, apart from - not to bother?" I was not being sarcastic so I don't...

Cuál el es la ruta completa a al arbol de código?

Es imposible que en una instalación limpia pase esto, hay algo en tu equipo que no está bien, estas seguro que estás usando RosBE y no mingw? Esto es muy importante, si aún tienes problemas yo desinstalaría verificando que no hayan rastros de instalación e instalaría RosBE nuevamente, tal vez en una...
