I have just installed cygwin/X and got the error message "Can't open
display:" when starting e.g. xterm, xfig, ddd, i.e. an x-window
application.
I tried to set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 or DISPLAY="IP-Address":0.0 with
export DISPLAY, but the error message remained.
How must I set the DISPLAY variable in order to be able to open
x-windows applications?
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Dirk SCHAWE
