[ncl-install] After install to cygwin, no response to any command

[Mary Haley]

Hi Robert,

Did you read this section of the Cygwin document that we provide:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/cygwin.shtml#InstallCygwinX

It mentions that NCL will not work with the 64-bit setup-x86_64.exe code.  You must use the setup-x86.exe code when you install Cygwin.
We haven't created a NCL binary for 64-bit Cygwin yet.
