Hello:
  I want to run GTKWAVE command in CYGWIN, but the BASH remind me: "command not found". I have set the environment variable and also added the following line:

Shell: C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe 

into DEFAULT file by following the file README.txt of 
gtkwave. I don't know why it is? 

thanks.

Please note that 'gtkwave' development has been stopped,
since it is now possible to use 'wave' on all of the
platforms previously found to be compatible with 'gtkwave'.
Please follow the instructions at
	http://physionet.org/physiotools/wfdb-windows-quick-start.shtml
to install 'wave' together with the rest of the WFDB software
on your system.

>From your note, it's not entirely clear if the problem is
that 'bash' can't find 'gtkwave', or if 'gtkwave' can't find 'bash'.
I'll try to answer both possible questions:

* If you have not installed Cygwin, you don't have 'bash' on your
system.  In this case, if you installed 'gtkwave' and started it
by clicking on its icon, it would be unable to find 'bash'.  To
fix this problem, install Cygwin (see
http://physionet.org/physiotools/cygwin/ for detailed instructions).

* If you have installed Cygwin and 'gtkwave', and you are trying
to run 'gtkwave' from a Cygwin terminal window, you need to set
bash's PATH variable so that it includes the location of 'gtkwave'.
If you follow the installation instructions on the 'gtkwave' home
page, this will be done automatically;  otherwise, find 'gtkwave.exe'
on your system and add its location to your PATH, or run it by typing
its full pathname (e.g., 'C:\whatever\gtkwave').  For a gentle
introduction to PATH and how to set it, see
http://linux.org.mt/article/terminal#N104F3 .

Remember, though, that 'gtkwave' is unsupported;  I recommend
using 'wave' instead.
