Thanks Mats and Bert for helping, It was really my fault and carelessness on my part. I thought I removed all the tex variables, but I left out removing the enviroment variables for $TEXMFCNF. Deleted the variables, close the "bash shell", load up the prompt again, the lily is working again :)
The only problem is still viewing the dvi files. I havnt seem to have the fonts correctly installed? I tried everything on another computer but dont seem to get the things right. When the jdvi viewer is loading, I try to catch a glimse of the running words to see what fonts its trying to load. Some files that failed to load are cmbx10.601pk feta20.601pk I made a search in the cygwin for files *.*pk The results shown a few files with *.600pk or 595... are my fonts outdated? can i rename them? can they be generated with mktexpk?
