emacs: nothing happens when launched

[kev v.]

Hello,
I'm expericencing trouble running emacs: when I execute 'emacs.exe' from the 
bash shell like so:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ emacs test

or:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ /usr/bin/emacs.exe test

or:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ /usr/bin/emacs-21.2.exe test

nothing happens: a new empty shell prompt line appears, just as if I hadn't 
run emacs.


My environment is the "Current" version of cygwin, emacs (21.2-13), and 
other binaries. The shell session is a bash login shell launched by 
Cygwin.bat, in a MS-DOS window.
I also tried with emacs version 21-2-12, or by specifying "-nw" switch to 
the executable, even with PuTTY instead of the MS-DOS window, but it doesn't 
change anything.

What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated :)
thanks in advance

I haven't run rebaseall (at least not explicitely - I'v never heard about 
this utility), however, I installed libncurses7 and now emacs seems to work 
fine. In fact, I only had libncurses8 installed on my system, not 
libncurses7.
Is it safe to keep both versions without compatibility problems? Anyway, it 
seems strange to me that setup.exe didn't detect a depency between emacs and 
libncurses7 when I selected the emacs package for installation.

regards,
Kevin.
