If you needed to do the chmod thing then that should be your first line
of attack.  Do this from a console window, not running cygwin:

cd c:\cygwin
chmod -R a+r bin lib sbin usr etc tmp var
chmod -R a+x bin sbin usr/sbin usr/local/bin lib/gcc-lib/*.exe usr/X11R6/bin

Although, theoretically, this shouldn't be necessary if you have used
the latest version of setup.
