CGAL users discussion list

I tried adding /usr/local/lib, the directory shows up with "echo ${PATH}",
but I am still getting the same error.  I also tried
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/local/lib and tried adding a copy to the
/usr/local/bin directory. Same error in all cases.

Is it possible to access the libraries within Cygwin if I install CGAL with
the Windows CGAL-3.9-Setup.exe? Perhaps this is the way to if building from
Cygwin directly hasn't been done. I greatly appreciate your quick response
and assistance.
