xwin is installed at /usr/X11R6/bin/xwin (on Windows explorer that is something like C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\...), my guess is that you did not installed X11. Install X11, is at the bottom of the list on Cygwin's setup.exe; actually you don't need all X11, just choose the base packages and any other that your application may depend on. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
