Re: Installing Grace package
Hi Andrey, I have installed Cygwin/X, INCLUDING grace package to set up a Windows Workstation to do molecular modeling analysis. Cygwin bash shell and XWin.exe are working. For example, I can create a screen by typing in BASH txt 'console' xwin.exe -screens 0 600 600. However when I enter xmgrace, am getting ERROR message Can't open display - Failed initializing GUI, exiting. Yes, because you have to tell grace, like every other X program, which display to use. Try: $ export DISPLAY=:0 and then start xmgrace. Do I need to get 12 mandatory files (apparently only 11 for Cygwin) from Xfree86 and run installation using sh xinstall OR this will be redundant/conflicting/overlapping to/with what was done by installation of xorg-x11-base other xorg- packages from Cygwin.com? Before I have tried a commercial X Server (XVision Eclipse) installed after Cygwin w grace, but ERROR persisted. I have no clue what you are talking about, but I can confirm that grace works fine with a commercial X Server (I sometimes use XWin32) for me. But you have to have lesstif and some other libraries, and that means install what setup proposes for you when you select grace. Is ERROR related to a possibility that something related to TCP/IP is taking/redirecting 127.0.0.1.0:0 ? I can try to repeat all installations on another, Windows 2000 Pro PC Workstation, which has never 'seen' any network, Internet, and thus firewalls, etc sources of crap. What is 'the best' way to do so ? Just to repeat a Local Installation of Cygwin/X including grace from downloaded packages ? OR to install first a commercial X Server - then what Cygwin packages besides grace ? I prefer not to deal with source codes and compilations, in a hope that binaries should work. Any other way around ? I found a compact, 'Evgeny's' compilation of grace with all required dlls and other files, including .bat. My understanding is that it may work if I have just an X Server running (and I can have TCP/IP protocol on a standard Windows 2000 Dell Precision, without connecting to any 'private networks' etc sources of kaka possibly conflicting with the display address 127.0.0.1.0:0 - right?), but am not sure I have done everything right with .bat to configure the system properly. I don't understand what Evgeny's stack running means. Can anyone redirect me to Evgeny. SOS...

Re: how to get rid of running xterm after a remote x application start ?
Hi! appology if this is not the right place to ask my question. Well, strictly speaking it is a common *nix question, but as it points out a problem I usually have I'll give a partial answer. After looging in to your server try: $ nohup xclock (Use your application instead of xclock ;) ) You will see the application coming up and you can try to exit your ssh shell now. This works as desired, but my problem is that exiting ssh with exit never finishes. I have to kill the windows rxvt window. (I usually use rxvt, I don't know if it would work with ssh from bash started in cmd.exe) Volker I am using cygwin/x to connect to a remote ssh enabled X server. this script asks user for remote x server name and user name and invoke the `ssh -X` command with all the info provided. This script starts whenever user runs a xterm. a remote x application opens after the script run. however, I can't close the local xterm or all the remote x applications will exit along with it. Now my question is, how do i get rid of the local xterm window(exit/minimize)? or is there a decent way to do the whole thing? thanks! Qiang ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: grace
Hi Jack, Dear Volker Q, Volker Z, and anyone else involved: I just build grace 5.1.14 with lesstif 0.93.94 and your XmHTML package. Works and looks beautiful. Would it be possible to release an updated Grace (and lesstif, if necessary)? lesstif is already released (as a test version, use setup to install it.) I could also provide a grace test version, but I thought it would be nice to use XmHTML for the new version. I cannot do that until XmHTML is accepted as official cygwin package, test version or not. *Hint to all package maintainers*: XmHTML is reviewed and good-to-go, but one more vote is needed! If XmHTML doesn't get that vote soon I'll produce a grace test version, again with lynx as help viewer.

Re: lesstif 0.93.94 and the attempt to add non-widget ... error
Sorry I can't be more helpful than this right now. LtXmFixupVendorShell
is not working. Find out why.
Thanks Brian,
there was a patch to lib/Xm/Vendor.c that corrects for the (shared)
library loading mechanism, but it was missing for lib/Xm-2.1/Vendor.c.
I attach the changed lesstif-0.93.94-2.patch and lesstif-0.93.94-2.sh
files, the lesstif.README is already updated, so it should be zero
work to produce a new release ;)
The changes in the build script are the ones previously
described plus:
cd ${topdir} \
diff -urN -x '.build' -x '.inst' -x '.sinst' \
-x 'configure' -x 'Makefile.in' -x 'aclocal.m4' -x 'depcomp' \
+-x 'compile' -x 'config.*' -x 'ltmain.sh' -x 'missing' -x '*~' \
${PKG}-${VER}-orig ${PKG}-${VER} \
${srcinstdir}/${src_patch_name} ; \
rm -rf ${PKG}-${VER}-orig )
Oh, I forgot to say, this lesstif version not only fixes the
attempt to add non-widget ... error, but also fixes the
crash of grace 5.1.14 when double-clicking on the axes :-)

Re: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?
Hi! 0.93.91-6 - Nope. doesn't work. Since I had to go looking for a mirror with newer updates (mirror.ac.uk doesn't have the new stuff yet) I also found a newer build of Grace, 5.1.14-1 and the stock install crashes (where the old one did not) The internal help shows it was built with 0.93.91 Yes, I made the package yesterday, and I didn't write an announcement yet. I could just recreate your crash, it said cygXm-2.dll is missing. After installing lesstif it works. I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem xmgrace seems to work. For me. Something I would really like to understand: why should the 5.1.12 build with the older LessTif NOT crash when running with the newer LessTif libraries installed? If the bug is in the LessTif function and the (shared object? dll?) is the buggy one, shouldn't it crash? Can you describe what crash you are seeing? It doesn't sound like an alert box saying a dll is missing.

The console in which it was running reports that it got SIGSYS and says it may have something to do with the graphic (but I think that is because the signal numbers are different? GDB says it gets SIGSEGV segmentation fault) The back trace with 5-1-12-1 rebuilt with debug (-g) is copied below. But LessTif seems not to have been build with -g and I am having trouble building this myself. The same behaviour occurs with the new 5-1-14 package and the new LessTif-0-93-91-6 , so my guess that it was the same bug in XGetCValues that I encountered in November may be totally wrong. Which LessTif did you install and get it to work? Did you try opening some dialog boxes or just start the test routine? The test routine works because it never opens those dialog boxes. I used the 0.93-91-5 version, installed with setup. I'm not sure that I will find the time over the weekend, but if yes, I'll try to build debug versions for both progamms.
