Good, your cygipc installation is fine.

The above is a separate and unrelated issue.

The above implies that Cygwin gcc 3.x is not automatically searching for
libraries in /usr/local/lib. BTW, I just tried under Linux gcc 3.x and
it does not search /usr/local/lib either.
You can try the following workaround:
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcygipc.a /usr/lib
while I try to figure out the best long-term solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
