Re: installation help!


Jarva,

Cygwin/XFree86 is install completely with the Cygwin setup.exe installer. There is no need to download the Cygwin/XFree86 binaries seperately. In fact, the seperate binaries are old and probably broken by now.

You need to start over and follow the instructions on the Cygwin/XFree86 home page (the User's Guide is a little out of date, but the home page is up to date):

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/

Let us know if you are successful.

I went through the whole download process, following the user's guide (downloaded from setup.exe, downloaded all the required binaries) up to the point where it wanted us to run cygwin (chapter 2), and it doesn't work... cygwin just opens a window for half a second and then closes on me. Help, what'd I do wrong? and how can I fix this? thanks!
