Perl Tk in Cygwin (using X)

Hello,
	I'm not sure if this is a cygwin problem or a Tk problem.  I am trying 
to build Tk under cygwin.  I did this successfully 5 months ago, but it 
doesn't work anymore.

1) Is there a fix/work around to this problem?
2) Is there a place to just download the Tk X binaries for cygwin? Or, 
can comebody tell me how to use my binaries on another cygwin install?

	Thanks,
	  Charles

What I did:
unix> perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> get Tk
CPAN> exit
unix> cd .cpan/build/Tk804.025/
unix> perl Makefile.PL x
unix> make

Things start compiling nicely until below.

Note 1: This happens both on my computer and a "brand new" install of 
cygwin.
Note 2: Again, I successsfully build Tk with my computer almost 1/2 a 
year ago.  I haven't uninstalled any libraries.
