Anyone know what this is a symptom of?
lilypond-1.7.29 is part of Cygwin's TEST/1.5.0 `branch'. This means that you need the cygwin-1.5.x dll, which has a new ABI. Unfortunately, Cygwin's setup.exe allows you to pick a package from another branch. Usually this is not such a problem, but currently (and until the 23rd) everything in TEST is built for the new ABI. I'm not even sure if there is a way to see whether you picked a version from another branch. Incidentally, this is why I have given all my Cygwin 1.5.x a relelease number greater than 10. So, please check that in the Package selection window, you select (*) Experimental and verify that you have version 1.5.1 of the cygwin package. You'll also need libkpathsea3-2.0.2-11, guile-1.6.4-11, libguile12-1.6.4-11 etc. > Also tried installing from the lilypond.org mirror, but same problem.
