pdfEdit versus cygwin/ X windows
Hi, I try to run the 'pdfedit' application under cygwin. It seems that the problem is due to the 'X server' configuration as the 'pfedit' team guy has written me (see below). Would you mind having a look ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer of yesterday. Since then I have progressed a little bit. (I use my professional email to avoid HTML format ;-)) Thanks ;) Sometimes it is really hard (annoying) to read html emails in console... I've got now a new question regarding 'pdfedit'. I was able to install cygwin on my windows XP computer. I am able to start the shell. 1/ My error message is now: = PDFedit 0.3.2 Fatal error! Environment variable DISPLAY is not set - cannot run GUI for PDFedit I am not an expert on cygwin, but seems pretty like problem with your X server configuration under cygwin. DISPLAY property *should* be *always* set inside X session. I then tried to set the DISPLAY variable thanks to the command 'export': Export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 This is the localhost address by default. 2/ A second error message: Pdfedit: cannot connect to X server 127.0.0.1:0.0 3/ After running 'xwin' = I ran 'xwin' to launch the X window server. I had 1 new X window titled: X cygwin/X - 0:0 but with the following error message: A fatal error has occurred and cygwin/X wil now exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information.

Check the .ini file for proof of this. And make sure the download folder name maintains the escape codes. Correct my good sir! it is true that if you plan to install cygwin appropriately in say, Q:\cygwin\, that you must create that dir yourself, place setup.exe there, and then use that... there are some tricks that you can pull though. This is what _i_ do periodically, when production is stopped and i consider it stable: a) grab a BIG hd (last i checked there were some 1.2 gigs of packages? am i correct here?) b) throw setup.exe into that harddrive under the ROOT of the drive c) select to dl packages only d)select a mirror e)select EVERYTHING. yes ladies and gentlemen, you want EVERYTHING. this makes keeping the versions simple. f)dl to say (the big hd):cygwin-packages\ ... move to target machine g)run setup.exe and tell it that you want to install from a local repository h)ippos i)select to install to C:\Cygwin (or wherever your target is) j) enjoy ;) all you have to do to deal with packages is re-run the setup.exe in the removable drive/hdd that you used... it'll know what to look for. i've used this on four machines now with 1 DVD and a total of 2 downloads: setup.exe and all the packages. works every time. my current idea: its stable... theres no major developments happening. -- Morgan gangwere Please Excuse TOFU.

Alas, this is a highly unpredictable and tricky to diagnose area. (Which, as a side note, really just thinking out loud, suggests to me that it would be really good if we could find some kind of definitive diagnostic for these problems, some symptom or side-effect we could detect or test we could perform). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
