Hi,
 I just installed gv using the cygwin installer, I select Download 
from the internet option and the install process runs for quite a while.


 After that I run /usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe and I saw this error,

gv: Unable to open the display.

 What does that mean?

 Should I install something else for gv to run? Shoudn't cygwin 
installer already consider that?


Thanks.


Moved to Cygwin-Xfree .

Is X running or are you trying to run gv from a cmd-type shell?

You'll probably get more help if you follow the problem reporting 
guidelines at

http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Tthe XWin log file would be helpful as well.

Ken

It seems I should know a lot more to make gv running...

My only purpose is to view a postscript file content and as I know I should 
run gv, so i installed gv package and then in cygwin shell I type 
/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe.


In the installation process there is nothing obvious wrong.

You mentioned I should run X first, what that mean? Is there some program I 
should run before I fire up gv?


Thanks.

'gv' is an X program.  It requires the X-server to run before it will 
display.  You need to start the server first.  Type 'startxwin' and that
should help.  For more info, see:

http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/cygwin-x-ug.html


In the installation process there is nothing obvious wrong.


There isn't anything wrong.  'setup.exe' knows 'gv' is a X program.  It 
knew to install the X-server for you.  But you have to know to run the
server.


You mentioned I should run X first, what that mean? Is there some program I 
should run before I fire up gv?


Yep, as I mentioned above.

If your only purpose is to view a Postscript file, have you considered 
using the native windows version of Ghostscript and the viewer Gsview:

I mean, Cygwin is a marvellous package for emulating Unix on Windows 
*where necessary* but in this case I don't think it's necessary.
