MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.2.2 X-Virus-Status: Clean X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help AT cygwin DOT com; run by ezmlm List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Delivered-To: mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Looks like initially a path problem, plus an X-problem I found out that at least one of the reasons grace and gracebat would not run from the DOS command line was that the directory for cygX11R6.dll was not in the path. I fixed that and also put the actual path for gracebat . c:cygwinusrsharegracebin before c:cygwinbin, so a command would look for the actual executables before the symlinks. So I run c:mydir> c:cygwinusrsharegracebingracebat test.dat -hdevice JPEG -printfile gtest.jpg or c:mydir> gracebat test.dat -hdevice JPEG -printfile gtest.jpg It runs instantly, but produced NO file gtest.jpg (Before adding the actual executable directory to the path before the bin, it just hung there) Also, if I try to run grace by clicking on its icon(not the symlink), it does nothing If I run c:mydir> grace it does nothing but if I do c:mydir> ash $grace I get back grace>1 If I do c:mydir> xmgrace I get Can't open display Failed initializing GUI, exiting So, it looks like an X-problem. How do I go about solving it?Αρχικό μήνυμα από moka AT hol DOT gr: > Ok, thanks and sorry for including raw emails.
