OK. If, for any reason, you find that you need this set, you can invoke rxvt as
'rxvt -d :0' to override the env-var.

It sounds like the shell program that rxvt is launching is dieing immedietely.
The env-var to look at is SHELL, and the command line override is 'rxvt -e
/bin/bash' (and you probably want to make that 'rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i' to
make sure your startup files are processed.

As a general rule, for most cygwin applications, try:
$ <command> --help
$ man <command>
$ info <command>
If you have installed pinfo, you can use
$ pinfo <command>
as a substitute for the last two above. pinfo will look for an info file,
and, failing to find it, will display the man page.

Make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is unset or set to ':0'.

Hi
I have Cygwin 1.3.3 is installed on my PC. When trying to launch rxvt.exe I get the following error message: "failed to load libX11.dll" and the terminal window is not coming up. Some of my colleagues have the same installation but they can get the terminal window using rxvt.
Following your advice, I have been searching through your documentation and web site but could not find anything similar
I would be very grateful if you could respond to this query.
Thanks
David
