That kind of GUI should be started from within Cygwin X11. If Cygwin
X11 is not already running you cannot start a GTK2 GUI.
I could have sworn that I was doing it from a xterm.
Maybe you were, but it didn't jump me in the face. I mentioned it
because running an X11 display on top of the Windows (or Mac OSX) window
manager is a rather rare thing, few people take the trouble.
The "loaded to different address" error seems to indicate an
incompatibility between your Cygwin Vim executable and your Cygwin
shared libraries. You might want to update _all_ your installed
Cygwin packages to their latest versions.
Done. Problem seems gone for now.
In general, I recommend to use only the Console version of Cygwin
Vim from the Cygwin bash prompt, and/or the native-Windows versions
of Console Vim (from the cmd.exe prompt) and of gvim (from cmd.exe
prompt and/or from a desktop shortcut).
Agreed...though as I mentioned, I'd swear it was from an xterm. Ah
well, my fingers are crossed!
Thanks!
My pleasure.
Best regards,
Tony.
