I use fpTeX (Win32-Web2c, also called: teTeX für Windows), more
information at http://www.fptex.org 

This is part of the so-called TeXLive-Distribution by the German
TeX-organisation (www.dante.de)

Thank you for your help.

There is an environment variable under Windows called TEXMFCNF which
points to C:\Programme\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c. 

When hiding this variable to cygwin by unsetting it in /etc/profile in
cygwin by

        unset TEXMFCNF

the problem is solved.

I still have the "double-clicking" problem:

If I double-click on .ly file in my c:\cygwin\home\Ulrich in the
Explorer under Windows, a cygwin-bash window is opened and the result
is shown as PDF...fine.

But if I double-click on a .ly file on the Windows desktop, a
cygwin-bash windows opens shortly and nothing happens.

Regards,

Ulrich
