Claus Hentschel recommended to write to this mailing list, because he doesn't know what is wrong. The problem is I can't start the LyX port for Windows. I'm using XP (MikTeX, X-Win32), and when I try to start LyX, I get the following error message: LyX: Creating directory /cygdrive/d/home/.lyx/ and running configure... grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor [... same grep-Message 70times repeated] grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor grep: write error: Bad file descriptor LyX: Done!

The connection to the X-server is ok, because if I start with no present home-directory, I get a window within the X-server saying that the user directory cannot be created. I tried everything, I started Windows in secure modus; I copied the files from a working Win' 98 Lyx (which has the same file structure) to XP (same error), I installed LyX, MikTeX and Cygwin several times, I installed it to Win XP of my neighbour (it works there without a problem). Now I don't have any idea, what I can try to get it working :-( What does the error code 113 mean? Attached is the output of cygcheck. Maybe there's something wrong with environment variables, but before lyx starts, it sets the following variables in lyxprofile: export HOME=/cygdrive/d/Home Obvious maybe, but do you have d drive?
