Yep the admin thing did it, successfully installed gf2x. Don't know why I wasn't running cygwin as admin the entire time....
But now I got an error on Pillows which I understand to be an image manipulation liubrary for python: /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/var/tmp/sage/build/freetype-2.5.2.p0/src/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:198: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressEnd' /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/lib/libfreetype.a(ftbzip2.o): In function `ft_bzip2_file_fill_output': /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/var/tmp/sage/build/freetype-2.5.2.p0/src/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:303: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompress' /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/lib/libfreetype.a(ftbzip2.o): In function `ft_bzip2_file_reset': /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/var/tmp/sage/build/freetype-2.5.2.p0/src/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:227: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressEnd' /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/var/tmp/sage/build/freetype-2.5.2.p0/src/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:238: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressInit' /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/lib/libfreetype.a(ftbzip2.o): In function `ft_bzip2_file_init': /home/evan.oman/sage-6.1/local/var/tmp/sage/build/freetype-2.5.2.p0/src/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:183: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressInit' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Error building / installing Pillow I tried to install the tarball attached here<http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15539#comment:15> but I think that it is the same one distributed with sage. Also I found a mention of the Pillow install problem here <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15317#comment:25>and they said that it was an easy fix though I did not follow how the suggestion would solve the issue.
