I find that I can start cygwin bash but if I try to ls (for example), it fails. Nothing happens, and then bash closes.

I want cygwin mainly for X but I need to solve this first, of course.

So you're saying that you're starting bash from an xterm or similar
X proggie?  If so, is this not just an instance of this?

Er... no.

I am not starting it from X - just from the Cygwin icon.

I can type ls - it appears at the prompt - but there is no output, no returned prompt, nothing then happens for a while and then the Cygwin bash window closes.

The bit you quoted is just the result of the bit you didn't.
