Did you also install all the programs mentioned in the point 3 in

http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html

It seems you are missing libgmp.

First install all the packages mentioned in the web-page above. If doing 
that does not work
then install

libgmp3-dev

and give a try. I think you are running into these problems because you 
just did a minimal installation of cygwin rather than the complete 
installation. Now you know how to install packages in cygwin, follow the 
step 3 in the webpage.

Best,
