No, it's telling you that the problem is due to using incompatible
versions of cygwin1.dll. You should search for cygwin1.dll using the
Windows Start->Find/Search utility and delete all but the most recent
version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin,
where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin
distribution.
Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
HTH.
