That is what's killing it. it was mentioned a few days ago but Xastir and 
*nix in general doesn't like spaces in file names.  I have compiled xastir 
with all the extra libraries that are known to work under cygwin even with 
a space in my user name like you have.  An easy fix is to simply create a 
directory called "/home/james" under cygwin.  Xastir will compile and all 
of the normal directories xastir creates under your home directory will be 
where they belong.  The only thing that doesn't like the space is 
ImageMagick when trying to convert the snapshots from xpm to png.

I get the same.... ignore it.

I does..... you can either do the kludge I mentioned above or change your 
login name to be a single word...
