I think you'll need to debug this yourself, since you haven't given us 
much to work with.  My guess would be that you have a different path so 
you're finding a different R, but it could be something else.  (You 
aren't using the R distributed by Cygwin, are you?  That one doesn't 
work.  I don't know who put it into the Cygwin distribution, but they 
obviously didn't test it.)
