I'd first point you at the problem reporting guidelines at the URL below: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html I wouldn't have to ask this next question otherwise - did you install X? It's probably best to answer that with the cygwcheck output mentioned at the URL above. Since your questions hinge on whether X is installed or not, it does fall into the category of something that's appropriate for the main list. However, Cygwin-X has its own list for all things X and Cygwin, for future reference. You can ask Cygwin-X questions there and/or search the archives. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
