Subject: Installing GRASS on cygwin

Hi,
I'm having issues installing GRASS on cygwin running on Windows.
I execute the configure script below successfully and with no errors.

CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure  --with-includes=c:/msys/local/include \
--with-libs=c:/msys/local/lib  --with-python --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj

But when I run make, it hangs when it enters the d.ask command:

make[2]: Entering directory `/c/GRASS/grass-6.2.2/display/d.ask'
GISRC=/c/GRASS/grass-6.2.2/dist.i686-pc-cygwin/demolocation/.grassrc62

I would be really grateful if anyone could help as I've wasted 2 days trying
to fix this.  Thanks,
