RE: PBM with XWin and DXWin32

["Suhaib Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

Once again like some previous users.  You problem is you are mixing MSVC
and Cygwin applications.

The DXWin32 should be installed in x:\usr directory, where x is your drive
letter.

The Xwin (XFree86-4.0-xxxx) should be installed under Cygwin mount point
\cygwin\usr\X11R6

Have you installed Cygwin?  If so, under Cygwin unpack everything and
install in usr/X11R6
