Cygwin's bc does not depend on this library and it would not give you
this error message either. I suggest you try "/usr/bin/bc" from a
Cygwin shell and then think about what you want to have your PATH look
like.
I wonder which setup program that was, and how your environment is set up?
That message is from a native Windows port of bc, installed under/by
Mingw/64, Msys/2, Chocolatey or some other native Windows port installer
that does not handle library dependencies. You would have to install
that environment's readline library using their setup program.
If you have installed Cygwin, you must start it using (perhaps some
minor variation of) the provided shortcuts, command files, or scripts,
and ensure the Cygwin path is set with Cygwin /usr/bin/ near the start,
possibly preceded by your own local script directory/-ies: e.g.
$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
