That solved it. Thank you.

For the record:

cygcheck reported missing cygintl-2.dll
I located which package contained this file by using the search box here:
http://www.cygwin.com/packages/

The package is
libintl2/libintl2-0.12.1-3GNU Internationalization runtime library

I installed the package using cygwin's setup.exe.
