Re: xmgrace fails to start


Thanks!
I just sent (before your email) another message to the cygwin list
showing the result of running strace on xmgrace.

Cheers,
Charles

Hi all,

Recently I attempted to run the xmgrace application (installed from the xmgrace cygwin package) and
it fails to start. After typing the command and after a 1 or 2 second delay, it simply returns with
no statement or anything.

Yes, reproducible. But not cygwin1.dll is the culprit but xorg 6.8.99.901-1.


I updated the cygwin installation to the latest and greatest except
the xorg packages and xmgrace still ran.

After updating xorg-x11-* from 6.8.2.0-1 to 6.8.99.901-1 I get exactly
the behavior you describe.

Any hints to solve this are appreciated.

Volker

In addition, I ran strace with xmgrace,
and got the following message:

Process 3996, exception 40000005 at 7C81EB33

and an error in a box 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem:

/usr/share/grace/bin
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction
