This however was untrue. When I reverted to xorg-server-1.11.4-1, the xfig crashed on startup as before, and I concluded that it must be a difficulty only with xfig. I am running on a Dell Optiplex 380 with an Intel Core2 E7500 2.93 GHz CPU, 4.0 GBt DRAM and an 150 GBt Western Digital HD. The OS is WinXp Pro. 32-bit, and is fully up-to-date. My CygWin installation is 1.7.10-1, the xorg-server is 1.11.4-5, and everything in that sub-system is up-to-date. The xfig is a minor part of the things I use, but I do like to have it around. It fails to start, issuing the messages: > gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel > $ xfig sqposn.fig & > [1] 2904 >=20 > gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel > $ /usr/bin/xfig.exe: error while loading shared libraries: > ?: cannot open shared object file: > No such file or directory I ran the cygcheck on the xfig package, but it claims that none of the required resources or libraries are missing. > $ cygcheck xfig > Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > D:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll > C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll > C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygX11-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygxcb-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXau-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXdmcp-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXaw3d-7.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXext-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXmu-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXt-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygICE-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygSM-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cyguuid-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXi-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-4.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-7.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll I had reason to suspect that it was the xorg-server because new versions had recently been installed. When I reverted to the previous xorg-server-1.11.4-1, everything was not O.K. The xfig still has the problem. I next ran the experiment where I installed up to the xorg-server-1.11.4-5, but reverted to xfig-3.2.5b-1. I set back the three xfig packages to: xfig-3.2.5b-1 xfig-lib-3.2.5b-1 transfig-3.2.5c-1 Once this was done, the xfig functions again. Its cygcheck now reads: > gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel > $ cygcheck xfig > Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe > D:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll > C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll > C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygX11-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygxcb-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXau-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXdmcp-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXaw3d-7.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXext-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXmu-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXt-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygICE-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygSM-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cyguuid-1.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXi-6.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-4.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-7.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll > D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll I see no difference in the cygcheck output, and so I guess that my only criticism is that the newer xfig-3.2.5b-2 fails to run, outputting the complaint about a missing *.so file. A visual scan of my /var/log/xwin/Xwin.0.log did not reveal anything unusual. I hope that this report contains enough detail for the xorg developers to reproduce and find the problem. If anything more is required, just ask me.
