I am new to Cygwin/X, so I apologize if this question is stupid. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.
I am trying to run an application using Cygwin/X. Testing that my X-server is running properly using 'xterm' seems to work fine. However, when I run my application (called 'A' here): $ A test.txt I get an error: No absolute path found for shell: A Flipping through the mailing list archives, I found another post that asked a similar question. The suggested fix was to update to patch 203. Following that post, I typed xterm -v to find out what patch I was using: $ xterm -v Cygwin 6.8.2.0(202) I'll assume that this means that I am using patch 202. I re-installed the code using the setup.exe program making sure that I included "xorg-x11-xwin: Cygwin/XX server" version 6.8.2.0-4. I still got the same error "absolute path" error. xterm -v indicated that I was still using patch 202. Finally, I tried re-running the setup.exe program using the 'Exp' button to download the latest version of everything. xterm -v still indicated that I was using patch 202 and I still got the same "absolute path" error as above. Am I not downloading the latest patch correctly or am I not setting up my X-server correctly?
