Hi Michal Hocko, Thanks for your answer of yesterday. Since then I have progressed a little bit. (I use my professional email to avoid HTML format ;-)) I've got now a new question regarding 'pdfedit'.
I was able to install cygwin on my windows XP computer. I am able to start the shell. 1/ My error message is now: ============================= "PDFedit 0.3.2 Fatal error! Environment variable DISPLAY is not set - cannot run GUI for PDFedit" I then tried to set the DISPLAY variable thanks to the command 'export': Export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 This is the localhost address by default. 2/ A second error message: ============================ "Pdfedit: cannot connect to X server 127.0.0.1:0.0" 3/ After running 'xwin' ========================= I ran 'xwin' to launch the X window server. I had 1 new X window titled: "X cygwin/X - 0:0" but with the following error message: "A fatal error has occurred and cygwin/X wil now exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information. Vendor: cygwin/X project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWIN was started with the following command line: xwin" 4/ Content of the xwin.log ============================ Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root XWin was started with the following command line: xwin (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0000040C" (0000040c) (--) Using preset keyboard for "French (Standard)" (40c), type "4" (--) 5 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
