Are you saying that you have multiple copies of the Cygwin DLL on your
system?  If so, only the one in /bin (aka /usr/bin) is the right one.
You should *NOT* have more than one cygwin DLL on your system.

You also should *NOT* put the cygwin DLL in some "system" directory.
Just modify your environment (via Control Panel) to include c:\cygwin\bin
(or whatever) in your system PATH.
