This installation was done on a plain machine . I guess it is a CYGWIN change that triggered this behaviour. How can we proceed . The unable to bind message is quite hard to track down. I'll try to add a more descriptive message which will hopefully reveal what the cause of the problem is. But this may take some days since I'm quite busy these days. bye ago Hi Alex I tried to mount a /tmp for each Xwin session still no luck cannot bind the session thks for ur help amr

Remove /usr/bin/gs (or /bin/gs) from your installation. The one in /usr/X11R6/bin is the right executable to use with gv. Ciao Volker
Problems with Xwindows
Hello , Recently I tried to install cygwin to just use your software for xserver purposes. I followed closely the instructions given in x.cygwin.com for downloading cygwin using the `for all` option. I then went to directory /usr/X11R6/bin/ to click on`xwindows.exe` to use only this application but the application complained that dlls could not be found. Later when I went back to setup.exe and installed `xstart` aswell using the installation method given in the URL below. What happen next was an Xwindows box appeared on my screen but I could not move the box around the screen nor did the command prompt flash either. I did not have tunnelling set at the time with SSH under MSDOS windows but I am wondering if I have done some thing wrong. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting (I am by default both user and admin on my 2000 Windows ) I look forward to your reply. David

I wonder where the xwindows.exe came from. The executable usually is Xwin.exe. And you can only start it directly if the cygwin\bin path is in your windows path or start Xwin from a bash shell. Did you try startxwin.bat?
Re: remote Mathematica client does not work properly in Cygwin/X(pointer bug?)
If I use "ssh -Y", there is no error message. However, the situation gets worse. The point can not change to vertical I-bar even I move it to unformatted text in Mathematica windows. The Mathematica can not understand "Backspace" key, "Shift-Return" combined key, and all the arrow keys. __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Does the linux version of matlab install and run on cygwin. Has anyone tried this? Any pointers on how to install it? Any problems you might have had? thanks, Rohan

No. I think you had better read what Cygwin is again: Cygwin != Linux. I wish it didn't imply this so strongly on the cygwin.com home page. -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International the best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained pilot...
