I think there is some bug with ROOT Installation procedure.
You may not run ROOT from within Cygwin since Cygwin env.  is invisible for Win32
program (like ROOT).
You should run ROOT from the separate WIN32.
Cygwin to compile ROOT only. You may run ROOT from Cygwin if your first install the ROOT
env namely ROOTSYS and PATH as a global Env. variable (via registry. For example My Computer/Properties 
does this for you)

   Can you try that. Hope this helps.
                                                                                     Valeri
