RE: [R] using Rterm under cygwin, no possiblity to delete characters

Dear R-users, Thanks to Roger Bivand, it appears that the real problem is coming from the way R talks to X11 under cygwin. Both other invocations of Rterm, either in a bash window without Xwindow capability or from the DOS command, work just fine. Rterm breaks down every time it is invoked from

Rterm under cygwin, no possiblity to delete characters Thomas, Yes and no. I'm refering to http://grass.itc.it/grass50/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_generic/ which appears to have stopped at 5.0.2. Subsequent Cygwin compiles: 5.0.3, 5.3, and 5.7 all require an X-server for the d

Dear Brian, You have to call Rterm.exe *from a command shell*. `cygwin' is not a command shell, but a collection of tools that provides several such. So we can only guess at what you are using. Rterms runs satisfactorily in many shells (I use tcsh, others use Cygwin bash ...).

Hi. I used to run R under Cygwin for quite some time, but after, I think, R v1.8.1 or so, the problems started to show up. There has been some discussion about (recent) problems running R under Cygwin. Once problem was for instance that hitting Ctrl-C in R running Cygwin would bring you into a
