Jorge, I would recommend you go with Mark Gordon's suggestion, and add "C:\cygwin\bin" to your "DOS" path. If you are on Windows NT, right click on "My computer" choose properties, click on the "environment" tab, and add "C:\cygwin\bin" to the beginning or end of the "SYSTEM" PATH variable. You will need to be administrator to do this, and any DOS command shells you have open will have to be closed and re-opened for this change to take effect. You can also add it to your user path, but that might not work for "system" calls.
