Well I figured that I would start over. So, I downloaded the cygwin
files again to a local disk. Installed everything from the local disk.
I found that this time the install did not put any programs in the
Cyginw-X folder at all. So I deleted the cygwin download and picked a
different mirror site. I found that the number of folders got bigger
and this time when I installed, the Cygwin-X folder is populated. ( The
first site I used was OSU, anyway to ping them to have them upgrade the
mirror with all of the folders?)
After the install I started the X server. Worked okay, except that when
the xterm started it still leaves a blank X windows hanging around.
Have yet to investigate this, just finished the install. I then started
the cygwin dos window and it returned this error:
1 [main] bash 3660 C:\Xwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x85, top 0x8B,

301672949 [main] bash 2848 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11
I killed the windows after these errors. I was hoping to check see if
'sh' was installed, but will look at the xterm instead.
Started the Xterm and got the following error:
/usr/bin/xterm: Could not exec /bin/bash: Bad address
looks like bash needs to be reinstalled or fixed. Will do the reinstall
and report back.
thanks

I too had the same problem and I looked through some of the other posts.
Simon Jean-Francois posted the solution and Andy Koppe posted a followup. Just
as Andy has suggested, I got a in-use message box because I had a bash shell
running.
