Thank you all! 

I've downloaded the latest version of the cygwin
setup.exe 
and reinstalled tetex-beta, texmf, texmf-base and 
textmf-extra packages. Sorry if someone thought there
was 
a problem with this. At this point it works fine.[
Thanks to 
Hoenicka, and Hanchrow ]. But i have MikTeX and i
thought i 
could profit it...

Following Benoit instructions it success to work !

Litle drawback: there are two directories with more
than 70 MB each,
texmf (from MikTeX) and texmf.original (from Cygwin).

Regards, Javier
