I have upgraded from Cygwin 1.3.3 to 1.3.6, too and had the same problem. Some tests show that I have to change the wrapper program lyxwin32 a little bit, because beginning with cygwin 1.3.6 the bash called will no longer be invoked as a login shell by default. Passing a nother argument ( --login ) to the bash will do the trick. Anyway! I have released a new wrapper program on my web page http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Download and install the tarball as described there and Lyx can be started as before!
