You probably already solved this, but if not...

It sounds like you unpacked the ispell tarball directly on the c:\ 
drive, and then added c:\usr\local\bin and c:\usr\local\lib to your 
path. What you need to do is unpack the tarball in cygwin's / 
directory(probably c:\cygwin). Just copy it there, fire up your shell 
and do a:

~ cd /
~ tar -xvzf ispell-version.tar.gz

This will put it in cygwin's /usr/local/bin directory. Then all you need 
is PATH_TO_CYGWIN\usr\local\bin in your path. That should work.
