Hello,
I have installed some X11 packages and the 'startx' is working.
I have xterm.
But when I want to launch 'rxvt' it says to me that it doesn't
find libX11.dll.
As I understand it, rxvt will first look for cygX11-6.dll, which is in
xorg-x11-bin-dlls, and only then for libX11.dll (which is in
XFree86-lib-compat). The fact that it doesn't find cygX11-6.dll probably
indicates that you don't have /usr/X11R6/bin in your PATH. However,
without the system information requested in the Cygwin problem reporting
guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html, the above is just a
guess.
I launch a find / -name 'libX11.dll' on my cygwin installation
and this file is not existing.
What is the package for this library I need to install ?
The answer to which package should I install to get file A almost always
involves the Cygwin package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages.
A search for libX11.dll there points to the XFree86-lib-compat package.
However, as I said, you probably just need to add /usr/X11R6/bin to your
PATH.
One other point: rxvt has a Windows native mode, which doesn't require a
running X server. You can invoke rxvt with -display :0 to get the
Windows native mode (it uses libW11.dll, which comes with the rxvt
package, and doesn't need X installed).
HTH,
Igor
