Thank you all!
I've downloaded the latest version of the cygwin
setup.exe
and reinstalled tetex-beta, texmf, texmf-base and
textmf-extra packages. Sorry if someone thought there
was
a problem with this. At this point it works fine.[
Thanks to
Hoenicka, and Hanchrow ]. But i have MikTeX and i
thought i
could profit it...
Following Benoit instructions it success to work !
Litle drawback: there are two directories with more
than 70 MB each,
texmf (from MikTeX) and texmf.original (from Cygwin).
Regards, Javier
