[GRASSLIST:1680] Re: GRASS Cygwin Binary Installation problems.

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Howard,

sorry, i must admit that the binary installation instruction is not for
the binary package you find on the hannover server currently. 

We plan to build a new binary in some days, which will use another
installation method.

Please note that GRASS on cygwin is not a "finished" product, but beta
software. 

I am in a hurry right now, i will try to figure out what the problem
might be tomorrow.

cu,

Andreas
