[ncl-install] ncl cannot be run under cygwin in 64-bit windows 7

[Mary Haley]

Xuguang,

The precompiled Cygwin/NCL binary is a 32-bit binary. Unfortunately I  
don't have a 64-bit Windows machine to test it on. I think it should  
work, however.

I think the problem may be with your version of Cygwin. Other users  
have reported to me that they had to upgrade Cygwin before they could  
run NCL.

The Cygwin "setup.exe" I used was version 2.697. If your Cygwin was  
installed with an older version of "setup.exe", then you probably need  
to upgrade it.
