That's not what I meant; we know that using "mysql -e" works, what I meant
was to just run "mysql", and then, even though you can't see any output from
it, try typing those commands, just in case it is actually working but all
the output is getting lost.

That's not the point. The question is, did the people who you got it from
build it with/under cygwin, because if so, their binary install might have
part of the cygwin package in it, and that could clash with your main cygwin
install.

What's this? An old partial install of cygwin or something? That could
cause problems.

What's this? A very very old MinGW compiler install or something? That
could cause problems.

Yes, as I thought. The version of MySQL you installed is in fact a cygwin
executable, compiled under cygwin, and it comes with an out-of-date version
of the cygwin dll, and quite possibly a number of other executables that are
clashing with the cygwin versions. That could also cause problems.
So, resolving it. Hmm. Basically, that MySQL binary install is never
going to be compatible with the cygwin on your system. If I were you I'd
try building MySQL from source code, using your current and up-to-date
cygwin installation, and if that works, get rid of the old one.
cheers,
