OK then. Assuming you're still interested in someone here trying to help
you find your installation problem, you'll want to follow my previous
suggestion that you provide the information requested by
www.cygwin.com/bugs.html. Specifically, the output of cygcheck as
described on this web page will help others get a better understanding
of your installation.
