I always run gnuplot from an X11 or rxvt console window within the CYGWIN environment. I'm using v4.4.4 with my 32 bit CYGWIN installation and it works great.

I just updated my 64 bit CYGWIN installation (which is on the same disk but in a separate directory structure) in order to try out gnuplot v5.x.x. Installation went smoothly and all seems to work fine except for gnuplot. When I type gnuplot into a 64-bit console window it returns immediately to my prompt instead of entering interactive mode.

I wouldn't necessarily expect it to work correctly if I try to start gnuplot.exe directly from the filename in Windows Explorer, but at least I get an error message -- "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Any suggestions on how to fix or debug the problem would be appreciated.

I got some help from the CYGWIN forums. Turns out the problem is that gnuplot v.5.x.x and one of its required DLLs are out of sync in the current 64-bit CYGWIN distribution. Until the disparity is fixed, gnuplot v5.x.x requires installing cyglua-5.1.dll rather than cyglua-5.2.dll, which is installed by default.
