Hi,
I have uninstalled/reinstalled cygwin + xfig trying to overcome various
problems
I haven't manage to resolve the problems which are:
First, I am assuming the cygwin installed properly.
I have tried to install both the versions of xfig (3.2.4 and 3.2.3d).
When I
try to import a Figure (I have tried with a GIF format) I get the
following error: can't find giftopnm and ppmtopcx.
What I should do to fix this error? (there may be problems with
importing/exporting other formats).
Also when I open Xfig I get following message prompted:
"App-defaults old version. Go to xfig directory and type "make install"
".
This does not work, do you know what is the problem?
Also, I can only run Xfig as administrator on XP not as a user. I am
prompted "/usr/shar/texmf/web2c/textmf.cnf: permission denied". I am
puzzled about this because when I installed cygwin I clicked on "all
users" and "DOS".
Can anyone help?
Regards,
