ghostscript cygwin file loading problems ...

2004-01-14 Thread B. Marchand
I've encountered this issue with several programs that try to use gs to load EPS files (such as xfig and xv). It seems that gs has some issues with file paths that have spaces in them. So, I can't open any files that are located under Documents and Settings because of the spaces. For instance,

Yes, your problem must be the version of the xserver. If you had the right version all you'd have to do would be: To copy from cygwin to Windows (1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy (2) the highlighted text is now on the clipboard (3) if you want to paste that

ghostview problems ...

2004-01-13 Thread B. Marchand
I just noticed something. Even though ghostview (gv) comes up and appears to run I can never open a file with it. It says Unknown device: x11 when I try to open a PS or EPS file. The only difference I noticed between gv in cygwin and that in linux is that the following library is not available

Thanks, That worked. I installed ghostscript-X11 and ghostscript-base only. --B. You need to uninstall the ghostscript package and install the ghostscript-x11 package. You have to be careful to check each time that you run setup.exe that ghostscript is not being installed (if it is, just

Has anyone ever tried to compile xv under cygwin? I just compiled xv-3.10a and, for the most part, it works just fine. There is one thing that I guess needs to be changed in the xv source though. If I include postscript support, so I can view EPS files with xv as well, the path to the EPS file

this should be an easy question. I noticed that when I run startx the server defaults allow the screen to extend beyond the limits of the physical display. So, if I push the mouse against the edge of the screen I pan into a different section of the display. How can I turn this off? I just want

xfig and mwm problems ...

2004-01-13 Thread B. Marchand
xfig works fine, so far, under twm. However, I cannot enter text manually into text boxes if I'm running mwm. For instance, if I try to save the file I can't enter text into the output filename box. If there's a property, like text size, I can change it using the arrows but I cannot enter it

fixed the bugs that you are running into. Update your installation with Cygwin's setup.exe using a different mirror (try mirrors.kernel.org), relaunch your apps (including XWin.exe) and report your results. Harold B. Marchand wrote: Here's the info you requested: Cygwin Package Information
