Hi,
I just installed gv using the cygwin installer, I select "Download
from the internet" option and the install process runs for quite a while.
After that I run "/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe" and I saw this error,
gv: Unable to open the display.
What does that mean?
Should I install something else for gv to run? Shoudn't cygwin
installer already consider that?
Thanks.
Moved to Cygwin-Xfree .
Is X running or are you trying to run gv from a cmd-type shell?
You'll probably get more help if you follow the problem reporting
guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Tthe XWin log file would be helpful as well.
Regards,
Ken
