Alan, are you sure it's Cygwin and not MSYS/MinGW where Greg's problems occur?
I have seen some strange effects myself for that platform, unfortunately. I
have to set:
set PLPLOT_DRV_DIR=.../drivers
that is set that environment variable to the directory that holds the *.drvinfo
files, besides prepending the PATH variable with the directory containing the
DLLs, even though things are running in the build tree. I think that is the
same problem as Greg is experiencing with his MSYS/MinGW set-up.
Regards,
Arjen
