Known setup bug.  28th time this has been reported/asked about this
week.  run setup again on your laptop.  It will update your system to
the most recent versions -- the bug was it installed OLD versions (of
cygintl.dll, for instance).

You're looking for <cygwin>/bin/cyggdbm.dll.  If it isn't there,
reinstall the gdbm package.  If it IS there, then you need to add
C:\cygwin\bin to your SYSTEM path.
