Well, sorry for the noise then.
Not real familiar with Cygwin.
Does it allow you to use *nix style paths instead of windows style  
paths? Or is that even still an issue?
I noticed you used DarwinPorts/MacPorts (whatever they're calling it  
now)
is it possibly some kind of path/dependency trouble? Maybe it's  
expecting to see something at a path that isn't what it expects?
It's interesting...
