Or tell me where to get the source so I can debug it myself?
You are trying to start xmgrace from outside a cygwin environment, i.e. it does not know about cygwin softlinks. To confirm if I'm guessing right try this (only works from a cygwin shell): $ ls -l `which xmgrace` Otherwise provide more info about the problem.
