Thanks, Thomas.

I had ls-R, so I deleted it.  I ran texconfig, which generated a new ls-R, 
and things are fine.

I could not understand how texconfig generates the format files.  It opens 
the fmtutil.cnf files, and then ...

Anyway, I did fmtutil --all, but that only generated omega.fmt.  That is 
because texklib and texmflib which I downloaded yesterday have only 
omega.ini

Is there any package on CTAN that provides
tex.ini, latex.ini, *etex.ini, *elatex.ini, pdftex.ini, pdflatex.ini, 
*pdfetex.ini, *pdfelatex.ini, lambda.ini, amstex.ini, bplain.ini, 
bamstex.ini
needed by tetex and places them in the right directories?

I can then use fmtutil --missing or fmtutil --all to generate all format 
files (followed by texlinks) and go from there.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

George

Well, please try to run
  texhash

That should generate /usr/share/texmf/ls-R.

PS: at least, this is the way it works with the unix-version of teTeX. I 
have no idea what the cygwin port has changed.
