my name is Eva García Llorente, I have installed a new version of cygwin (that one which is necessary for installing the latest Singular version (3-1-1)). It is supposed to be installed,but when I try to execute Singular (Emacs and X-server) a fatal error occurs, and in /var/log/Xwinlog is reported the following error:
Fatal server error: Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock I have tried these possible solutions (FAQ): 1. startxwin -- -nolock 2. rm -rf /tmp; mkdir /tmp ; chmod 1777 /tmp and they have not worked.
Can you attach the log file from running the X server with the additional -nolock option?
What about the facts which FAQ 3.4 mentions as relevant? Are you using a FAT filesystem? Does your account have local Administrator privileges?
