  PMFBI, but.... surely you mean

       PATH=/cygnus/include:$PATH
       export PATH

 because if you put that first $ sign there, it expands the path, rather
than treating it as a variable name, so if (for example) your path used to
be /usr/bin:/bin, then what you've just typed to bash (after expansion) is

   /usr/bin:/bin=/cygnus/include:/usr/bin:/bin

which of course doesn't make a lot of sense to bash...
