trying to install on XP Pro, following the 'new' method from the install.txt. however autogen.sh is not in Cygwin.
searches seem to point to Guile as the culprit. i'm not versed enough to understand the finesses of this discussion, but, does it mean to forget about the 'new' install method for Pd?

You need to include the ./ since it is a local script like ./configure. So its:
./autogen.sh ./configure make

hmm, are you trying to "install" Pd (so you can run it) or are you trying to "compile" Pd yourself?
if the former, just download the archive, unzip and run ...\pd\bin\pd.exe (when using Pd-extended, you even get a nice installer, that will eventually create a desktop icon to start Pd)
that's it! no cygwin, no nothing.
the "autogen.sh" in some README refers to building Pd from sources. the source package of Pd (which is usually _not_ the zip-archive labelled w32, but rather something like "pd-0.49-2.tar.gz") will contain a script autogen.sh which will generate some files needed for compiling Pd. compiling Pd on cygwin is non-trivial (it seems, i don't know), at least nobody i know of is doing it (on a regular basis). if you want to compile Pd on cygwin, you should have a good understanding of how cygwin works.
