Hi,
I just installed gv using the cygwin installer, I select "Download from
the internet" option and the install process runs for quite a while.
After that I run "/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe" and I saw this error,
gv: Unable to open the display.
What does that mean?
Should I install something else for gv to run? Shoudn't cygwin installer
already consider that?
Thanks.
Moved to Cygwin-Xfree .
Is X running or are you trying to run gv from a cmd-type shell?
You'll probably get more help if you follow the problem reporting
guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Tthe XWin log file would be helpful as well.
Regards,
Ken
It seems I should know a lot more to make gv running...
My only purpose is to view a postscript file content and as I know I should
run gv, so i installed gv package and then in cygwin shell I type
"/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe".
In the installation process there is nothing obvious wrong.
You mentioned I should run X first, what that mean? Is there some program I
should run before I fire up gv?
Thanks.
