I just built and ran PyMol using Cygwin on my system

here is how I did it

make sure you have installed the latest python and the 
opengl zlib and ping Cygwin packages prior to the following

1) install Numeric
http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/
after untaring cd into top level Numeric directory and execute
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

2) install Pmw
http://pmw.sourceforge.net/
extract tarball into /lib/python2.3/site-packages

3) Install pyMol
after untaring replace all occurrences of "python2.2" with "python2.3"  
in $pymol/setup/Rules.cygwin
in same file adjust PYMOL_PATH appropriately for your system
cd into the top level pyMol directory and issue execute
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
python setup2.py

pymol should now be installed

HTH
