RE: cygwin-xfree 4.2.0 installation problem


Egon,

Why are you telling me this?  I really don't care... you need to send all
Cygwin/XFree86 related mails to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list.  I will
reply to such mailings if I believe I can contribute.

Having said that... ZoneAlarm is the problem and it must be removed (if I
remember correctly).  If you don't believe me then follow these steps:

1) Admit that ZoneAlarm is the problem.

2) Remove ZoneAlarm software from your system.

3) In the event that step (1) fails, see step (1).

Harold
