How do you upgrade to XR117
I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe. When I go to the X11 tab, I can not find any X11R7 packages. I have tried to install them twoce and all I get is X11R6. Sorry if this a lame question, I just do know where to look, google doesn't seem to provide any specific advice other than use the cygwin setup.exe file and it will update automatically. Thanks -J I am hoping this upgrade solves the matlab problem I posted about yesterday. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-you-upgrade-to-XR117-tp21736592p21736592.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/

I'm afraid that really covers it. What makes you think that you're not getting upgraded? What mirror are you using? In case it helps, here's one of the announcements about the new X11R7: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html You can review the X announcements email list for other announcements/ details if you like/need. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Any mirror that is available via setup.exe has the newest X.org packages. If you are looking for something called X11R7 that may part of your problem. setup.exe simply refers to the newer packages as X.org.

Re: How do you upgrade to XR117
Well the reason I am thinking that I am not getting the X11R7 is that the /usr directory is showing X11R6 with a time stamp of my last install: $ ls -ltr total 0 drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 tmp drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 src drwxrwx---+ 5 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 local drwxrwx---+ 9 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:37 X11R6 drwxrwx---+ 6 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:38 ssl drwxrwx---+ 3 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 man drwxrwx---+ 4 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 sbin drwxrwx---+ 39 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:46 include drwxrwx---+ 49 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 share drwxrwx---+ 36 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 lib drwxrwx---+ 2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 13:48 bin Unless it installs in the X11r6 directory in the /usr directory. -J Christopher Faylor-8 wrote: On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 01:46:41PM -0800, jchas5 wrote: I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe.

No I am not looking for something called X11R7, I am simply looking trying to install the X.org packages from the setup.exe Should I see a X11R7 directory in /usr?
