Cygwin doesn´t starts

Dear Wingrass users,
 
May somebody helps me to resolve my problems with Cygwin.
I am working with windows XP. To be able to use r.in.aster (I must import an .hdf file) I can´t work no more with the native Wingrass installation. So I try to install the Wingrass with Cygwin.
I followed the instructions of the internet page  http://grass.itc.it/grass63/binary/mswindows/cygwin/:
 
For installation of Cygwin, see http://geni.ath.cx/grass.html#_Cygwin_setup_package. The instructions given there can be used with slight modification.

• Due to a recent change within the Cygwin installer program you must now start Cygwin's setup.exe from the command line as "setup.exe -X".
• At step #3 use http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass63/binary/mswindows/cygwin/ (or a local mirror) instead of http://geni.ath.cx/grass.
• In step #5 the version is 6.3.0-2 instead of 6.0.cvs-1, and there's no grass.bat script.

 
I downloaded the Cygwin program successfully.
But when I try to start it, it just pop up and desappears after less then 0.1 sec.
I tryed all my best and spend long long time dealing with it ... 
But now I need your help...
 
Thanks really for your answers
 
With my best regards
 
Baptiste

Hi,
Try starting a command prompt (Run->cmd.exe) change to the directory
where cygwin_grass.bat is, and then run cygwin_grass.bat. This way the
window will stay open and you can read the error message. Email back
with the error and we'll try to help.

please check the mailing list archive for this - it's the classical
GDAL-does-not-work eror.

To see it, enter:

Re-installed the missing packages and everything works fine now.
Thanks a lot, Colin and Markus.
