Hi everybody,

   I am using cygwin on XP on a DELL inspiron portable computer. When I launch
  "texmacs" on cygwin command editor I get the following message:

   Fatal error: I failed to connect to Xserver in
'x_display_rep::x_display_rep'


 In the texmacs web page, it is said that:

  If you get an error message including the following:

  Fatal error: I failed to connect to Xserver in  'x_display_rep::x_display_rep

  then execute "export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:10.0" on the remote machine
and  make sure
  your /etc/hosts file is sound, i.e. it contains the line  "127.0.0.1
 localhost" and
 "the IP information about the local and remote  machine".

  In my /etc/hosts file I do not have "the IP information about the
 local and remote  machine".

 Any help?

  Thanks in advance...
