Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'


I think this got lost so I try again:

Hi!

I have just downloaded Cygwin XFree86 to my D:\download\cygwin drive. From
there I run setup installing to the default C:\cygwin catalogue. I installed
cygwin acording to the documentation and it workes well. I then copied the
Xfree bz2 files to the cygwin root catalog (using cp from the cygwin shell),
unziped them with the command "bunzip2 *.bz2" and then untared each of them
with the tar -xf <tar-fila> command. I then added /usr/X11R6/bin to the path
variable and run startx. I then get the following error messages:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin

I can see from an other mail that one should install fonts and
xfree86-4.1.0-devel. I installed all the fonts from the download area. Are
there any aditional font I should download. Where can I find them? Where can
I find the xfree86-4.1.0-devel? I have used my favourite search engine
HotBot but I can't find this file.

Best regards
Arne
