Dear Volker Quetschke: 

Hello, 

I have xmgrace running fine with Scientific Linux 5.2 - but I wanted to
install it at home in my laptop too... 

I have been reading many posts about why xmgrace does not start in cygwin
running in Windows (2000 P in my case). 

So I understand the problem are the latest xorg packages, and not xmgrace
per se. 

So I tried with the 6.8.2. (older) and 6.8.99.901 (later) versions - but
xmgrace still does not start in any case...even after doing the rebaseall
as many post suggest, and it seems to work to many people as well... 

Actually when I run xmgrace and ps afx what processes are running I see
briefly /usr/share/grace/bin/xmgrace...but then nothing happens and ps afx
shows xmgrace exited...nothing is running (if ever was totally??)
anymore... 

So anyone has any idea about what xorg problem this may be? 

I read that xmgrace.exe is not at X11R6/bin/ as all
other X programs... and indeed shows instead at /usr/share/grace/bin. 

Is this a linking problem or something alike? 

Any help will be most welcome. 

Many thanks, 

Paulo Afonso
