I figured it out. The start of the classpath (LOCALCLASSPATH) is: C:/ava/fop-20111107/lib...
It should be C:/cygwin/java/fop-20111107/lib... Changing the text at the start of the path fixes the error. In my case, I inserted these lines in the script: echo $LOCALCLASSPATH exit 0 then ran: fop > path.txt I fixed the text in path.txt, then copied the text to the fop script, and assigned it to LOCALCLASSPATH. Of course, I got rid of the two lines (echo and exit), and the script runs again.
