Hi,
I've set up Cygwin 1.7.1 lately, along with X and some applications.
The X server works ok and claims to be "Version 1.7.5 Build Date:
2010-02-05". I can run Emacs as an X application without hassles.
However, when I start the X server, or when I try to run xterm from
the X server systray icon, xterm apparently fails to find a shell to
run, so it terminates (no pun intended) after a couple of seconds:
xterm: Could not exec 4.90.2.20040617: No such file or directory
I have plenty of shells installed (bash, ash, dash), and they work ok
in MinTTY. I'm afraid I'm missing some simple but important setting
somewhere. Any ideas?
regards,
Markus
