Hi Group:
I need some help. I have tried to solve my problem by
reading the FAQ, googling and trying everthing I
could. I am at the end of my wits.
I have installed cygwin. I go to
Start->cygwin->"Cywin bash shell" and I get a nice
cygwin window. I can do all inside-the-window stuff
fine. I cannot seem to open any windows from it. No
gnuplot window, no xemacs window, no xman window, no
xterm window. I can, however, open emacs window. That
could be (i am guessing) due to the fact that I have
had non-cygwin emacs installed anyways in my windows
machine. So what do I do?
I know that for UNIX, DISPLAY vaiable might be an
issue. So tried setting it in many ways. On many web
sites related to cygwin I found that I need to set it
to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (is it a special IP address?). I
tried, nothing. I tried to put this DISPLAY variable
in windows, no effect either. I tried xhost+ ...
nothing.
Please help me.
Do I need some kind of *.bat file? I think I do not
have any cygwin bat file. On a related note, do I
need to run an X-server for comfortable UNIX-like
experience or I just fine with bash-shell-xterm?
Thanks for your help.
