RE: Problem installing cygwin/X on vista sp2 64bit
So do you just need the X server? Perhaps a pure Win32 one would be easier for you. See http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/. Great!! This works perfect.

RE: Problem installing cygwin/X on vista sp2 64bit
Hi, I think I managed to obtain the cygcheck.out, which I attached after having added C:\cygwing\bin to the path of windows. Yes I am not an expert of unix and I am sorry, but I need this application to run Matlab on a cluster in interactive fashion. Another question: normally when I launched cygwin on my old laptop, there was a prompt telling my working directory, now I just get bash-3.2, why is that?

If that's the case, you may want to rethink about using Cygwin or look up a tutorial or two on Unix/Linux to help you get oriented. The reason what you typed didn't work is because you are in a directory which isn't in your path and you didn't say where to find 'cygcheck'. You need to do one of the following: 1. Use the fully qualified path (i.e. c:\bin\cygcheck.exe) 2. Use the relative path to specify the current directory (i.e. .\cygcheck.exe) 3. Add c:\bin to your Windows path so you don't have to do either of 1 or 2. cygcheck.out Description: Binary data -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Problem installing cygwin/X on vista sp2 64bit
Hi, I have always installed and used cygwinX on my windows Xp machines without any problem. I have been trying to install on my new Vista 64 bit laptop and I cannot figure out what is going wrong. I read all the topics in the mailing list but I could not find anyone with my same problem. My setup.log is below. The result is that when I launch the bash shell no matter what command I type I receive the message command not found. I hope someone can help me. Thanks. 2009/11/01 12:18:42 Starting cygwin install, version 2.573.2.3 2009/11/01 12:18:42 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-action) failed 2 No such file or directory 2009/11/01 12:18:42 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-mirror) failed 2 No such file or directory 2009/11/01 12:18:42 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-connection) failed 2 No such file or directory 2009/11/01 12:18:42 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-cache) failed 2 No such file or directory 2009/11/01 12:18:42 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/last-extrakeys) failed 2 No such file or directory 2009/11/01 12:18:42 Current Directory: C:\Users\Massimo\Downloads 2009/11/01 12:18:42 Changing gid to Users 2009/11/01 12:18:42 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.

RE: Problem installing cygwin/X on vista sp2 64bit
Sorry,it is my first time on this website, and I did not understand those links were for me...I thought it was some sort of signature. Everything seems complicated here and also the language seems very cryptic.. I went on the bin directory cd C:/cygwin/bin, I typed cygcheck -s -v -r and still it says command not found. I manually went in the directory and the file seems to be there.. The funny thing is that also ls does not work.. (I deleted all the old messages...is it ok ? I don't understand what I should do with the TOFU problem..) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
