> Hello, > After updating XFree86, xinit no longer works. > A WINDOWS alert window appears telling that LIBICE.DLL cannot be found. > Can somebody tell me if that library is a windows library or if it is a > cygwin/xfree library? > In the last case, in what package is it included? It's in XFree86-lib-compat - see below. > Thanks in advance. > Rodrigo Medina. > I suspect you have two problems: 1. Your X11 binaries haven't all been updated. I suggest that you check the date of the xinit binary: ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit.exe If it isn't 1 August, you don't have the current version. To fix this, close down all cygwin processes then launch setup. Reinstall the latest version of the XFree86-bin package. 2. You may also lack the compatibility package, which ensures that 'old' (i.e. pre-upgrade) X11 binaries will continue to work. From setup, select the following package for installation: XFree86-lib-compat.
