help: startx failed

[Clive Lee]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am starting to use cygwin
and I have followed the steps
to install. However, when I type
startx in cygwin, it appears
in the screen that

"giving up
xinit: connection refused(errno
111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: no such process(errno 3):
Server error"

Since I need to finish some
simulations by the end of this
month, it would be appreciated
if I could have help.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Nico



1/Unzip the zipfile ns-allinone-2.26-cygwin-binaries.zip under cygwin root
directory (C:/cygwin). It will place all binary files under /usr/bin and
libraries under /usr/lib.
2/Next setup the path to tcl library by typing "export
TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tcl8.3/" at the cygwin (bash) shell prompt.
3/Inorder to run nam, you need to start the XFree86 server (type startx at
the prompt) first and then run nam.exe from one of the xterminals.
