Re: Basic LilyPond fails in Cygwin on Windows XP

[Mats Bengtsson]

This is really a Cygwin problem, not a LilyPond problem.
Try to rerun setup.exe to install a package called "rebase"
and then start the cygwin command window are run the command
"rebaseall". Hopefully it helps, otherwise a question at the
cygwin mailing lists may provide more accurate answers (see
www.cygwin.com).
