Yes, they are installed. which xwin xinit/usr/bin/xwin/usr/bin/xinit
When I try to run inkscape, I don't get any errors and there were no
messages about missing programs or dependencies when I ran the
installer. I'm not trying to start a GUI. I have a script that I used
to batch convert svg images in a folder to png. When that script
wouldn't work (I've used it on other machines, including this one
years ago using 32-bit cygwin instead of 64-bit that I'm using now) I
started trying to invoke it from the command line, and that's when I
discovered it's not doing anything. If I start Cygwin64 WindowMaker
and type "inkscape" into the right-click run dialogue, I get a popup
window, ErrorCould not execute command: inkscape
OK, then start from the basics:
$ ldd $(which inkscape)
Look at the output. Is any dll shown as missing?
In the answer is no, then next check your anti-virus. Is it blocking
the program? Is it injecting a dll?
Another set of tests would be, is the program installed correctly? i.e.
is it executable? Is not corrupt? A bit more difficult: is it loading
libraries into valid space (non colliding, in available memory).
