Henry,

Please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the part about attaching
(as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr".
FWIW, it looks like you have another copy of cygwin1.dll in your path.
Also, your PATH has wrong separators (if it's a Windows path, it should
have ';'s, and if it's a Unix path, it should have POSIX directories).
	Igor
P.S.  FYI, Cygwin ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and the DLLs are found using
the value of PATH.
