and you actually expect an answer from someone?

1. your subject line has the word "bitch" in it, which would normally 
indicate spam, but I'll suppose it's some kind of research project on 
female dogs ;)
2. "and its pissing me off..." doesn't really invite any responses as it's 
not a question - what *is* your question anyway?

If cygwin1.dll is not found, that's probably because you've either not 
installed Cygwin, or cygwin1.dll is not in your PATH (or both). That can 
easily be fixed: install Cygwin if you haven't yet, and put it in your 
path.

If configure is missing from a source package, that's probably because it 
hasn't been bootstrapped yet - run the proper tools for bootstrapping 
(usually aclocal, autoheader, autoconf and automake) and try again.

..

and next time, try saying "female dog" - I won't be in biologist-mode all 
the time ;)
