Hi Patric,
have you set the  HOME environment variable ?
This is used to determin the location of .bashrc.

) Hi Frodak and All,
) 
) I created the ~/.bash_profile file (it wasn't even there before!), and
) tried sourcing ~/.bashrc from it.  It still doesn't work.  I don't think
) these files are ever executed during my cygwin session.  I don't know
) whether I use bash or not.  I simply installed it from my PC.  Is there
) another type of configuration besides bash, where there is a different
) file to modify to contain my aliases?  Please help if you can,
) 
) 
) Thanks,
)

) ~/.bashrc is only sourced by bash on non-login interactive shells
) ~/.bash_profile is only source by bash on login interactive shells
) 
) If you have your aliases in ~/.bashrc you need to add the following line
) to
) ~/.bash_profile
) Source ~/.bashrc
) 
) Further examples can be taken from the files located in /etc/skel.
) 
) Also look at the man bash page under INVOCATION.
