Fred,

Please read <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, in particular the bit about
attaching cygcheck output.  This output will contain the information about
your machine and your Cygwin installation.  The cygcheck executable should
be in c:\cygwin\bin, provided you installed in the standard suggested
location.
