Running Lyx under Windows 98SE
Hi, I have been running Lyx116fix1 under windows and have downloaded the latest version lyx116fix3b. I am using Starnet X-Server and Cygwin 1.3.6. The problem is that Lyxwin32.exe does not run, but lyx.exe does - however I get the error that it cannot find the x-server. I have set up the paths as suggested on Claus's website. Any ideas appreciated. (Lyx runs very well under Linux, but I sometimes have to use it under Windows.) I am sorry if this is not the correct place for posting this problem.

Some tests show that I have to change the wrapper program lyxwin32 a little bit, because beginning with cygwin 1.3.6 the bash called will no longer be invoked as a login shell by default. Passing a nother argument ( --login ) to the bash will do the trick. Anyway! I have released a new wrapper program on my web page http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Download and install the tarball as described there and Lyx can be started as before!

Re Running Lyx under Windows 98SE
Thanks for the quick reply. I have Lyx running using the method posted by Claus on 28 oct 2001 Re:lyx - windows 2000. But it keeps locking solid - I have to press reset button! It seems to keep locking up if I open more than 1 or two examples, or other menu activity. There must be a problem with my X configuration.
