Basic LilyPond fails in Cygwin on Windows XP

[Ryan L. Spilker]

Dear LilyPond developer,
	I have really been looking forward to transcribing some great jazz solos, 
but unfortunately, I am now unable to run LilyPond on even the most basic 
files.  The errors I have been receiving are listed below.  A previous 
version worked well on my previous Windows computer when I prepared my some 
sheet music about a year ago.  I am running Windows XP and recently 
downloaded the latest version of LilyPond through Cygwin's updating 
facilities, along with updates to all other packages.  Please let me know 
if you can suggest something that might fix this problem or if there are 
any other tests that I should run.  Thank you in advance for your help.
                                Ryan
