I have reinstalled Cygwin 5 times. Each time I can start XWin fine UNTIL I rebaseall or perlrebase or until I uninstall+reinstall perl/Tk. The .log file is from the first couple times it sucessfully came up (prior to the rebase and the errors) and nothing is written to any logfiles or even STDERR/STDOUT except for the: $ xinit giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. or $ startxwin giving up. startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I have added the env variable CYGWIN=tty but still nothing more informative is written to any files or terminal. My hardware is a HP EliteBook sitting on MS XP Pro version 2002 SP3. I have altered the rebaseall script to actually complete, as it is failing on the 64bit dlls. ( added filter to sed to not include the specific dlls from list creation ) I have tried this both ways in 'stock' form from repository and altered to complete. This is 100% reproducible. I can reproduce this every time even with fully fresh installs of cygwin. My goal is to get a version of Cyg X running that I can run cssh and have a full menubar ( this is why the initial rebase and then the subsequent reinstalls and the mucking about with the Perl/Tk stuff ) Thanks for any information in advance, DJ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
