OpenDX 4.1.3/Cygwin Windows 98 I have some questions concerning implementation. My problems appear to be similar to those described recently by Cameron Huddleston-Holmes.
I have added the statement PATH=C:\cygwin\usr\X11r6\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin to cygwin.bat, opened a Cygwin bash shell under DOS, and set a symbolic link ln -s tcsh.exe csh.exe After typing dx at the dollar prompt, the OpenDX welcome logo and the Data Explorer appear in one of the Cygwin windows Use of the dx command with several of the switches (e.g., dx -menubar, dx -version) at the bash prompt has so far failed. On the other hand, the dx -help command works.) >From within OpenDX, a few of the commands seem to work. For example, - Quit closes down the program - Import Data opens the appropriate dialog box, and can find files - Tutorial opens the tutorial Any attempt actually to import data or edit programs, however, fails A typical failure follows: go to Import Data select Image file select Tiff enter in the appropriate box the file name e.g., usr/local/dx/samples/data/cylinder.tiff select "visualize data" This process returns in the Cygwin window the error message Could not connect to dxexec It also returns in the DOS/Bash window the result timeout waiting for response from DX Internal error detected at "MacroDefinition.C":631. No files needed to be saved. 0 [sig] dxui 878811 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to DXUI.EXE.stackdump My attempts to run Samples and to run Run Visual Programs have evoked the same response. Suggestions are welcome. Many thanks in advance. -- Gregory Herzog Dept. Chemistry, Rutgers Univ.
