Problem installing IRAF in Cygwin

Hi!
Its strange.... yesterday I tried installing cygwin and Iraf und it worked. I had a problem later on, so I deleted everything. Now I retried it, and now I encountered a problem. Im using this guide http://www.iac.es/sieinvens/siepedia/pmwiki.php?n=HOWTOs.IrafCygwin for the installtion.
Now, when Im about to start installation with ./install -n, i get a LOT of "tput: command not found errors".
The strange thing is, yesterday, when I did the exact same thing on another PC it worked well.
Do you have any Idea how to fix it?
Can I simply copy the IRAF folder from the working pc?
thx.
btw: Im very new to Linux and Iraf, so I might not get every command :)

The 'tput' is a shell command used to do nice things in the install script like highlight text, but isn't critical to the script working. You can simply ignore the messages and type <cr> to accept all the defaults, or else go back to the Cygwin setup panel and install the 'ncurses' package to get the tput command and re-run the install script.
