Howdy Arjun!

As it says, it can't find a C compiler. Open the cygwin setup.exe program and
make sure you have gcc installed. I believe it is not installed by default for
a minimum cygwin installation.

Let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed

PS - You might like to get the full 4.0 release from the website, instead of
using the beta release.
