It's not clear why that would happen - is there a directory share/
libltdl in your LAM build tree? There should be one there, so a lack
of one might indicate a general problem with your copy of the LAM
source code. It might help to have your whole config.log file, as it
might provide some clues what is going on. One other thing - are
you, by any chance, doing a VPATH build? I know we haven't tested
that at all on Windows, so that might be a problem.

Those errors indicate that System V shared memory and System V
semaphores aren't properly configured on your system. Or it could be
more evidence that something is wrong with your build tree. I can't
really say without seeing your config.log file.

I think you have it mostly right, but LAM/MPI is not well supported
on Windows, even under Cygwin. At this point, the platform is not a
priority for us as we're spending most of our cycles on Open MPI
(which will have full, native Windows support in the not too distant
future -- I can't make promises, but probably within the year or so).
