putting those file names into the Cygwin package search engine:
  http://cygwin.com/packages/

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygssl
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygcrypto

Which tells us you need to install the openssl package.
 (needed by the Postgres DB?)


I may have installed another package which sucked that in automatically.

You need to be in an xterm to open an X monitor. The regular command
shell is just a Windows cmd window AFAICT, and that knows nothing of
X-Windows.
