CATIA launch fails

["Boucher, Chantal" <CBoucher@bellhelicopter.textron.com>]

I have a little more information about this problem reported September 2002,
when trying to launch CATIA V4 with cygwin with PC display at 16 bits or 32
bits, we seem to have a color mapping problem, the error message we have is:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface
user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "10.227.22.46:1.0".

What makes you think that not being able to launch CATIA has anything
to do with Cygwin?  Have you tried uninstalling Cygwin and noticed that
the problem goes away?  If not, this should be your first step.  The 
problem you're seeing is not obviously caused by Cygwin from the information
given.  FWIW, I run SolidWorks, Solid Edge, and Pro/E (plus allot of other
programs - including some by M$ ;-) ) on many systems with Cygwin installed.
So unless the CATIA team at Dassault have something against Cygwin, I expect
this isn't your problem.  But you'll need to get a bit more specific about
the problem if Cygwin does have a role in it.

Good luck,

Larry

I've attempted to launch CATIA v4 with CYGwin. CATIA tries to start, then
nothing. Any ideas?
