Did you install Proj4 ?

If not I have placed a Cygwin binary distribution package
of PostGIS to include the Proj files at my website
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/cygwin/postgis.tgz

This assumes that the current Cygwin Postgres 7.2 distribution
is installed in the 'default' location as is done by the Cygwin setup
program.

Note: This is not a 'supported' distribution but I would be interested
in hearing of any problems encountered.

FYI -
Out of 18 downloads I have received several reports of using this
successfully and no reports of any problems

Cheers
