This list is for X related questions only, setting the follow-up address
to the main cygwin list.

Only a limited set of packages is installed by default.  You have to
manually select the compiler(s) and other development tools.  Just re-run 
setup.exe and select the appropriate gcc packages.

It would have been better if you had followed the instructions in this

In particular, note the part about *attaching* the output from running
"cygcheck -svr".  That would let us know which packages were actually 
installed.

If re-running setup doesn't solve your problem, then that attachment
would be very useful.
