you already have it installed. otherwise you cound't install petsc.

And if you have to startup python to do what Jose suggested - you
would do it from cygwin bash shell. [For ex: I'm using PETSC_DIR here instead of SLEPC_DIR]

Have you tried the next part of my reply? To rephrase

[assuming you have PETSC_DIR setup similarly]

cd /cygdrive/d/TEST_FOLDER_dell/slepc
export SLEPC_DIR=/cygdrive/d/TEST_FOLDER_dell/slepc
./configure

BTW: What compilers did you build PETSc with? send make.log for this build.
