cygwin
Hi,
I downloaded and installed CygWin. I think it was a successful install.
I'm running Win2000, and it appears in my Programs menu, under the folder
"Cygnus Solutions" .
When I start up CygWin brings up an MSDOS window.
But when I run "XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600x8 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0",
it appears "_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root".I don't know what is the meaning.So I can't run Xwin.
I installed CygWin in c:\cygwin\ and when I look in the cygwin folder, there is a /tmp/.X11-unix directory.
So how can I do?
Oh, Help, help!
