Thanks again for your advice.
I am having a few issues with installation:
In step 4 of the installation instructions ("In the "Select Packages"
view...") I did not initially see lyx and related packages. After
clicking "View" a few times until "Not Installed" was displayed, the
relevant packages were displayed (lyx, lyxdict, etc, although not
LyXwin as stated in step 4).
When installing, I then got popup messages from Cygwin setup "Can't
open (null) for reading: No such file" while setup was installing
cygspawn-1.0.0-2-src, dtltools-0.6.2-src, dvipost-1.1-4-src,
latex2rtf-1.9.17-2.src, lyxsupport-2.0-src.
Finally, lyx still finds my windows installation rather than the new
cygwin version:
$ lyx -version
LyX 2.0.8 (2014-04-14)
Built on Apr 15 2014, 23:03:32
CMake Build
I'm assuming I need to edit the cygwin PATH variable, since this still includes
/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/LyX 2.0/bin
however, I can't find the right directory in cygwin, i.e.
/usr/local/share/lyx/ does not exist, nor can I find lyx.exe,
lyxwin.exe, or any lyx directory in my cygwin installation. I'm not
sure that I've looked everywhere, but I have looked everywhere I can
think of, including
C:\cygwin64\bin
C:\cygwin64\etc
C:\cygwin64\lib
C:\cygwin64\usr
C:\cygwin64\usr\local
C:\cygwin64\usr\share
which leads me to suspect my installation was not successful after all.
Any suggestions?
