If I try to execute 'gv' from a Cygwin bash character cell window, e.g.:
$ gv /usr/share/doc/clamav/clamav-mirror-howto.pdf
I get:
gv: Unable to open the display.
I figure (knowing little about X windows) that I must execute from an
xterm ('xwin'), so I do:
$ gv /usr/share/doc/clamav/clamav-mirror-howto.pdf
and, I get a Ghostscript message box:
Unknown device: x11
Trying to read in (open) the file from a bare 'gv' command does no better
How do I view a pdf file from a command line?
A clue, please! Someone give me a ghost (so to speak) of a chance!
