Probably this message means what it says: since
the ../XCrySDden-1.5.18-bin-shared/bin/xcrys.dll is apparently there, it
is likely that some dependent library is not. Please check that you have
installed all the necessary cygwin packages for xcrysden. Here is the
list of them:

          * bash 
          * bc
          * coreutils
          * gawk
          * grep
          * gzip
          * ImageMagick
          * less
          * more
          * opengl
          * tcltk

Since you have tcltk (or else such error would not occur), I suspect the
opengl package is missing.
