Very likely. David, the compiler isn't included by default; you need to
expand the 'Devel' category and select gcc (and any optional languages you
want) when you're running the cygwin setup.

To elaborate, questions about getting your cygwin installation
up-and-running would be most welcome on the main cygwin list (see
http://cygwin.com/lists.html); more general questions to do with programming
and the compiler itself will get the best responses from the gcc-help list.
cheers,
