Since the OP mentioned emacs version 22 and since Cygwin's emacs is 23.3.1 
(emacs --version), this makes me wonder if more fundamental suggestions 
might be needed. If the following is self-evident please pardon me but 
perhaps we need to check on some very basic stuff:

1. All installations of Cygwin packages should be done through Cygwin's 
setup program. Go to cygwin.com, click on the Install Cygwin link, download 
setup.exe and run it. Do this for every installation or update of every 
Cygwin component.

2. To get Cygwin's Emacs (23.3.1), open the Editors category and click on 
emacs (setup says it's 23.3.2).

3. If that doesn't work, my guess would be to follow the reporting 
instructions at the end of every message.

4. And if all else fails, read the friendly manual.

Castigation, denigration and mastication cheerfully accepted(tm),
