Re: How do you upgrade to XR117
No I am not looking for something called X11R7, I am simply looking trying to install the X.org packages from the setup.exe Should I see a X11R7 directory in /usr?

Re: How do you upgrade to XR117
Well the reason I am thinking that I am not getting the X11R7 is that the /usr directory is showing X11R6 with a time stamp of my last install: $ ls -ltr total 0 drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 tmp drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 src drwxrwx---+ 5 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 local drwxrwx---+ 9 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:37 X11R6 drwxrwx---+ 6 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:38 ssl drwxrwx---+ 3 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 man drwxrwx---+ 4 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 sbin drwxrwx---+ 39 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:46 include drwxrwx---+ 49 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 share drwxrwx---+ 36 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 lib drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 13:48 bin Unless it installs in the X11r6 directory in the /usr directory. -J Christopher Faylor-8 wrote: > > On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 01:46:41PM -0800, jchas5 wrote: >>I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days >>trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe.

How do you upgrade to XR117
I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe. When I go to the X11 tab, I can not find any X11R7 packages. I have tried to install them twoce and all I get is X11R6. Sorry if this a lame question, I just do know where to look, google doesn't seem to provide any specific advice other than use the cygwin setup.exe file and it will update automatically. Thanks -J I am hoping this upgrade solves the matlab problem I posted about yesterday. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-you-upgrade-to-XR117-tp21736592p21736592.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
cygwin and matlab 7.7 problems
Howdy! I have a pretty interesting problem, I installed a new version of matlab on an ubuntu linux box. Two users in my group are using cygwin on their PC's to connect and export the matlab displays back to their local machines. Both users are having problems with the Matlab gui; both are experiencing anomalies in the Menu functions, where they can not click on menu functions, i.e save, open, new, etc. They are able to run these commands using 'hotkeys', but clicking on the option in the pull down menu is not possible. When I tested it using my OSX, 10.5.5, and export the Matlab gui back to my machine, there are no functionality problems. I can access all menu items normally. Using a windows emulator, I installed cygwin and experienced the same problems. When I installed it I noticed that the installer was the latest release, and the X11 packages are for X11R6. I noticed there was a new release of X in November 2008, X11R7, but I can not find out where or how to install this update to see if this fixes the menu bugs. All the sites recommend just using the cygwin setup.exe and selecting all the X11 packages, but that does not seem to work. That being said I have a few questions... 1. Has anyone else experienced this problem with Matlab 7.6 or 7.7 using cygwin? 2. Does anyone know how to update the X11R6 to X11R7? 3. Does anyone have any approaches to fixing this? Thanks for your help in advance -J -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/cygwin-and-matlab-7.7-problems-tp21716945p21716945.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
