This will allow us to work out WHAT is wrong, without having to resort 
to WAGs.

However, in spite of that, there's a reasonable chance that your mount 
table is incorrect, primarily in that C:\cygwin\lib (or wherever you 
installed cygwin to) is not mounted as /usr/lib
You can check this by simply typing mount
If this is the case, try: mount C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib

It should be noted that if one mount is broken, there's a reasonable 
chance others are too, so send your cygcheck output anyway, as an 
*attachment*, to the list.
