Why Does XMGrace Fail to Load Libraries in Cygwin?

[RockenNS42]

I need it for my physics class, we are running the plotting tool Grace.
I had it running on my computer (with some help)

So I think I may have downloaded everything I need to run grace,
but when I open up the cygwin terminal and type in xmgrace
it says

/usr/bin/xmgrace.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open share d object file: No such file or directory

any idea of what i have to do?
is there something I need to type in first? I think i may remember something like that... not sure

I had this problem as well. After some investigation it turned out that I was missing a library. Try running:

cygcheck /usr/bin/xmgrace.exe

and if it says something like:

cygcheck: track_down: could not find <something.dll>

then run the cygwin setup package and install/reinstall the package that DLL belongs to. (It's possible you may also have to rebase everything using "rebaseall" as well.)
