Thanks. That helped. I ran cygcheck and looked at the output. Yes, there is another cygwin1.dll in system32 folder. It doesn't show up if I use Windows Search (even with "search hidden files and folders" option checked). Even if I go to system32 folder and enable showing of hidden files, it doesn't show up. In cmd.exe, if I do 'dir' it shows up. But, if I delete it from cmd.exe, it says file not there. But, I was able to delete it from rxvt using rm. I see another similar (hidden) file called cygz.dll in sys32 folder. Shall I delete this too? The only warning I saw in cygcheck output is for multiple cygwin1.dlls. The X is not running for other reasons. I'm going to uninstall and re-install and see if I can run X. > > Also check out BLODA: http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA . > > cgf > -- 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/
