Forwarding to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com mailing list.  This is the place for technical
assistance, not the maintaner's e-mail.

You haven't supplied much information.  Suggest you follow the problem
reporting procedures at the cygwin.com website, providing a snapshot of the
important parameters of your install.

Since you seem relatively unfamiliar with cygwin, let me point out something
basic: you must start cygwin before you use octave.

Also, the lapack install contains a script to modify the user's path during
shell login/startup (/etc/profile.d/lapack.sh).  It is necessary to log out and
log back in to cygwin at least once following the lapack install in order for
this to take effect properly.

Please try this, and report back to the mailing list if problems persist,
including the system information recommended on the website.
