Re: gv: Unable to open the display.

Hi,
I just installed gv using the cygwin installer, I select "Download from the internet" option and the install process runs for quite a while.


After that I run "/usr/X11R6/bin/gv.exe" and I saw this error,

gv: Unable to open the display.

What does that mean?

Should I install something else for gv to run? Shoudn't cygwin installer already consider that?

Thanks.

Moved to Cygwin-Xfree .


Is X running or are you trying to run gv from a cmd-type shell?

You'll probably get more help if you follow the problem reporting guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html


Tthe XWin log file would be helpful as well.

Regards,
Ken
