[winGRASS] Re: path problem ?

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Yves,

The first message you get in the window is no problem.
The startxwin.bat program checks if there are any /tmp/.X11-unix
directories or files around from previous invokation of the X Server. 

To help you i need to know:
- which operating system (NT, WIn2000) do you use?
- which version of the GRASS for cygwin?
- which cygwin version, which XFree86 server and version?

and most important: What is the path to your cygwin installation/XFree
Server.

If you did not install in .\cygwin and .\cygwin\X11R6 you will have to
edit the paths in the startxwin.bat file.

What is the exact error message you get when starting the xterm?

There are be different versions around for the startxwin.bat file. One
from the GRASS CVS, which is for the Starnet XWin32, one from the ftp
server (?for using with X11R6?) and one from the cygwin/XFree
Distribution.

The startxwin.bat from cygwin/XFree only starts the X11 Server and an
xterm. From within this xterm you have to login into grass and start
tcltkgrass. 

A better version of all this is under construction.

cu,

Andreas
