[winGRASS] newbie question: XFree86 and GRASS

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Mike, Hi Alex,

i am short of time right now, but i write to confirm that grass works
for me with the latest cygwin distribution (on W2K). But i am using
GRASS from the command line and with the StarNet XWin32 XServer. 

If there is demand i can re-build GRASS with X and upload. 

The problem you mention is very strange and i have no clue what it could
be. I think the best bet would be to wait for a new build and re-install
then. 

Please check that you did install with the supplied installation script
"grass5install.sh". Please refer to the installation instruction:
http://grass.itc.it/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/cygwin_grass50bininstall.html.
The instruction is not completely in line with the recent changes in
cygwin and XFree86 for cygwin. 

HTH,

Andreas
