It has /lib directory in the root (i.e. the above path would be valid if it didn't inlude the opening "/usr") but I am not enough Linux guru to understand config files and try to fix this myself. I have Windows 98 SE.

Gerrit's right.  Your installation isn't as up-to-date as you think.
But I expect there's more wrong than just an out-of-date cygwin package
(though it could be just that - you may have forgotten to reboot when 
setup told you to).  Your best bet, if you continue to have troubles that
you can't figure out, is to visit <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and
provide the information it requests if you need to contact the list again
on this subject.  My WAG is that you have more than 1 cygwin1.dll on your
system, probably as a result of installing some third-party application
that uses Cygwin, but there's really not enough information here for me to 
be sure.
