I apologize if I had already posted this question. However, I did not see my own posting and I assume it never made it to the mailing list.
I see from the posting below that you are using startx. Hmmmm... I think that is the command I use on Linux. I tried it on Win2003 server running cygwin and there is no such command. I'm using the command XWin.exe & and I'm trying to run the ddd debugger. XWindows seems to start OK. I can run X utilities like the XClock. However, when I try to start "ddd main_assert.exe" I get the "Error: Can't open display:". Someone in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list suggested I need to set the display and then I was chastised for carrying on off topic. Can someone help me run ddd? Currently, ddd is my only motivation for running XWindows. I was told I needed to start the XWindows server before I could run ddd.
