Errors with Cygwin Installation and Missing tools needed for program operation

[Clark, Randy]

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to run a program that requires both the bash shell and tcsh shell of Cygwin, along with many different tools that are not part of the default installation package. I had installed the default cygwin a few months ago, and then last night I updated my installation to add the dos2unix tools (namely, I needed d2u.exe, diff.exe, sdiff.exe and u2d.exe, which I was able to add in the update).  I am still missing the tools ar.exe and make.exe. However, when I added the tools, I also started getting the following error message in my cygwin window upon startup.

      1 [main] uname (1516) C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\uname.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802E1408/0x1802DD408.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
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.
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
      1 [main] sed (5160) C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\sed.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802E1408/0x1802DD408.

-bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/Program: No such file or directory

I have attached the cygcheck.out file, per the request of the cygwin help page, in order to assist any users who might be able to help. I should also point out that when I entered the command for the cygcheck.out printout, I received the following error message.

rrclark@rrclark-2 ~
$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
      1 [main] cygcheck (4428) C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\cygcheck.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802E1408/0x1802DD408.

In summary, I am asking if someone will help me clear up these error messages and also tell me which packages I need to install to get the tools ar.exe and make.exe.

Very Respectfully,
Randy Clark
