C:\cygwin\bin has been in the PATH all the time; the problem seems to have been that the PATH statement contained a MATLAB directory somewhere in the middle which caused some conflict between the libraries that loaded. > FWIW, the above is already done in the standard shell startup scripts, so > unless you're using custom .*rc scripts, you probably attempted to invoke > ImageMagick from a Windows command prompt.

I have added a path-modifying statement suggested by Brian to .profile that removed the win32 Matlab directory from the PATH and this solved the problem.
