Is Xastir compiled from source or did you download the
prepackaged binary from the Cygwin sources?

run 'echo $PATH' (no quotes) from your command prompt
and copy the output here.  It may be that
/usr/local/bin is not in your path at all.

If it's not, do:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ; hash -r

and then

which xastir

It should come back and say /usr/local/lib/xastir.

'DIR' (all caps) won't work at all.  'dir' may work if
the aliases got installed right (or the 'dir' package
was installed)
