Cygwin is just like Unix - it does nothing to the registry.

I did not see the output in your message which says you have a problem.

Where did you install netCDF? It's true that if you do a "make distclean" it 
will not be able to unintstall, but if you rerun configure with the same 
options, all the makefiles will be recreated the same way, and make uninstall 
should work.

Thanks,

Ed
