With all due respect, Igor, I think you missed my point.The point is this: 1) I ran the Cygwin "setup.exe" and the Cygwin/X "setup.exe" (a distinction made by the cygwin.com web site itself) on the same computer.
This distinction is apparently confusing. The two files setup.exe are identical.
2) The Cygwin/X installation gave me grief as mentioned in my initial post. 3) The Cygwin installation gave me no grief and worked perfectly.
