I attempted to install on Windows XP the version of cygwin via cygwin's setup.exe and their
site.
as instructed under "Installing TeXmacs under cygwin" and following those instructions.

I seem to be getting a Path problem: after opening a window and typing "texmacs &"
I get:

"
Installation problem: please send a bug report.
The initialization file init-texmacs.scm could not be found
Please check environmental variables
TEXMACS_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_PATH. init-texmacs.scm
should be readable and in the director $TEXMACS_PATH/progs
or in the directory $GUILE_LOAD_PATH

Fatal error: Guile could not be found in 'init_guile'
See file : init-texmacs.cpp
"

I set the windows environmental variables as instructed. They were absent before)
I can see init-texmacs.scm in c:cygwin\usr\share\TeXmacs\progs. No luck.

The file init_texmacs.cpp does not seem to exist on my drive. I uninstalled cygwin and did a complete
re-installation, but no difference.

Any ideas please?
Thanks very much,
Philip Welch
