I thank you all in anticipation of a quick reply.
Is it possible that you have multiple conflicting versions of Guile installed? The configure script found a guile-config in /usr/local/bin, but I'm guessing that Cygwin comes with guile installed in /usr (e.g. there is probably a /usr/bin/guile too). In general, whenever your system has prepackaged versions of a particular library, you want to use that prepackaged version unless you know what you are doing. For Cygwin, that means going to the "Cygwin setup" program and installing the "guile-devel" package from the "Devel" section. In your case, you may have messed up your Cygwin installation by installing multiple incompatible versions of the same program/library, so the easiest thing might be to reinstall Cygwin from scratch. Alternatively, install Debian or Ubuntu GNU/Linux and use the prepackaged Meep.
