Try commenting out the export HOSTNAME line in /etc/profile and see if the problem disappears. FWIW, I've bumped into situations where something worked ok in DOS but not Cygwin, or vice versa. It turns out that permissions for the same file may be different (or at least appear different) between DOS/Windoze and Cygwin. (This only applies to Win 2K and XP, and maybe NT.) I'm wondering if maybe lyxwin32, running under DOS rather than Cygwin, tries to invoke some other program for which it lacks, or appears to lack, permission. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
