Hello Everyone, I am posting about an error for which I found 2 entries on the NS user group but no solution....The original and the recommendation are both placed below:

Exiting ... Three people (including this poster) emailed me personally with this error in the past couple of days, which seems to indicate a breakage with the most recent cygwin packages. Interestingly enough, I encountered the exact same problem on my laptop after having upgraded to Cygwin/XFree86 4.3.0. Could you do a: cygcheck -c | grep XFree86 and post the output on this list? If it's what I suspect (breakage with 4.3.x for whatever reason), you may want to try to downgrade to XFree86 4.2.x (using Cygwin's setup utility) and see if it works. (I am very busy right now, so it may take a while to get a fix for 4.3.0 if no one else helps out.) Thanks, Nicolas Nicolas Christin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************* ********************* I seem to be facing the same problem and tried the cygcheck -c command which gave the following entry: $ cygcheck -c | grep XFree86 XFree86-lib-compat 4.3.0-2 OK As I am not very much familiar with this result (sorry!) so I am not sure how to proceed. Is it possible for me to continue working with this version of XFree-lib? Am I supposed to have other XFree86 files installed? I also tried to configure the XFree to 4.2.x but cygwin setup does not give me the option to do so. To any one who can provide some further information, I would be grateful!! The error that I received is given below: checking for libtcl8.3... -L../lib -ltcl8.3 checking for init.tcl... ../lib/tcl8.3 checking for tclsh8.3.2... no checking for tclsh8.3... ../bin/tclsh8.3 checking for tk.h... -I../include checking for libtk8.3... -L../lib -ltk8.3 checking for tk.tcl... ../lib/tk8.3 checking for X11 header files checking for X11 library archive checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no can't find X library otcl-1.0a8 configuration failed!
