Please do not send personal e-mail with Cygwin or Cygwin/X questions
unless specifically requested. Please address all Cygwin-related
questions to the main Cygwin mailing list at <cygwin at cygwin dot com>.
Please address all Cygwin/X-related questions to the Cygwin/X mailing list
at <cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com>. Not only will that give you access
to more expertise than any one person can provide, but your questions and
the answers to them will be archived on the web for others to find.
In the future, if you do ask questions on the main Cygwin list, please
read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> before posting, particularly the bit
about reporting the state of your system by attaching the output of
"cygcheck -svr". The guidelines are also a good read for the cygwin-xfree
list.
For your convenience, I'm setting the Reply-To: field of this message to
the (IMO) appropriate list. Please make sure your mailer respects it.

Your question is not even about Cygwin, it's about KDE/Cygwin. If what I
say below doesn't help, you should really ask for help on the kde-cygwin
list, if there is one.
If you need to find out which Cygwin package contains a particular file or
program, the one place you need to look is the Cygwin package search page
at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>. In particular, the search for
"cygcygipc-2.dll" turns up the "cygipc-2.03-2" package -- make sure you
have that installed. Another guess is that "c:\cygwin\bin" (or whatever
/bin translates to in your Cygwin installation) is not in the PATH --
Windows uses the PATH value to find DLLs.
