Hi All,
I was hoping to get some help with a problem I am now having with my
installation.
Prior to yesterday I hadn't updated my cygwin installation for about
about 3 weeks or so.
I updated by running the "setup" application and initially downloaded
everything locally from my favourite mirror, then ran setup again and
installed what needed to be updated.
I noticed in the process of updating that the heirarchy changed with
the addition of the X11 category and I now have the xorg-x11-XXX packages
installed (versions 6.7.0.0-X)
The problem is now that when I start "X" and try to run things suck as
xclock and xterm I get a windows dialog box appearing telling me that
xterm is unable to locate the DLL cygXft-2.dll in the specified path
and lists the search path which includes C:\cygwin\bin,
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin plus a whole lot of other windows directories.
You need the libXft and libXft2 packages. I'm not sure why libXft2 was
not selected automatically.
