I downloaded pdf giving steps for the installation of this software. After having installed the Cygwin software. I downloaded the binaries and stored them in /tmp directory and did the installations steps as mentioned in the manual. I am getting even the cygwin/X86free screen. But after this i am not able to get the iconmanager and other gui's. While starting the startxwin.bat get some error like The system could not find the path specified. _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11 -unix should be set to root. fatal error no screen found. The .X11-unix directory is set to the administrator group. Can u please give me pointer how to move from here. Can we get the native window GUI from thsi software. Pointer for the steps to be followed ---- manual on the site(cygwin) too will be handy.
