Pete and Noah As far as I can recall I made no changes to the directory structure or files except 1) put cygwin1.dll in \windows\system as Suhaib suggested 2) put the samples and an "etc" in subdirectories under usr\local\bin\dx [as I recall the samples came from the DX bonus pack] 3) put the X11r6.4 files in a directory under . . .\local
[Noah, since you're up and running further than I, do your directories and bin contents look like mine?] Here is my \usr directory structure C:\usr\local C:\usr\X11R6.4 My \usr\local directory C:\usr\local\dx C:\usr\local\share Here is my usr\local\dx directory C:\usr\local\dx\bin C:\usr\local\dx\bin_cygwin C:\usr\local\dx\doc C:\usr\local\dx\etc C:\usr\local\dx\fonts C:\usr\local\dx\help C:\usr\local\dx\html C:\usr\local\dx\include C:\usr\local\dx\java C:\usr\local\dx\lib C:\usr\local\dx\lib_cygwin C:\usr\local\dx\samples C:\usr\local\dx\ui C:\usr\local\dx\User's Guide Here are the contents of my . . . \dx\bin subdirectory dx.workerscript README-Win32.txt rgb.txt STARTUPUI.EXE.stackdump dx.src loadables.mdf usCaps2Ctrl.kbf dx.ico awk.exe bash.exe bison.exe csh.exe dx.exe dxexec.exe echo.exe env.exe flex.exe gawk.exe ksh.exe mawk.exe mount.exe nawk.exe ps.exe rsh.exe sed.exe sh.exe tail.exe umount.exe uname.exe vi.exe which.exe zcat.exe cygwin1.dll dllcdf.dll hd413m.dll hm413m.dll libGL.dll libICE.dll libSM.dll libX11.dll libXext.dll libXp.dll libXt.dll libz.dll MagickZIP.dll netcdf.dll dx_logo.bmp mdf2c.bat OpenDx.bat dxworker mdf2c termcap XErrorDB XKeysymDB Here again is my current OpenDx.bat file with the last line changed as Peter suggested.
