I just set up a new XP pc with Cygwin and XEmacs this morning. I installed all the Cygwin packages that I thought were relevant, although I believe I initially missed the "cygXpm-noX4" package. After I installed Cygwin/XEmacs and ran it, I got: This application has failed to start because cygXpm-noX4.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. After an archive search I updated my Cygwin install with the "NoX" Cygwin package. I can clearly see "C:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-noX4.dll" on my disk, and in my cygcheck output (which I'll include here). Unfortunately, this seemed to make no difference. I get the same error when I rerun Cygwin/XEmacs. Note that I am presently NOT a local administrator on my box, which I hope to have rectified soon (although I may not get it). The "uname -a" output is: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 WG44KA2G55H 1.3.18(0.69/3/2) 2002-12-25 15:37 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin The "cygcheck --sysinfo" output is: -------------------------- Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Wed Jan 15 14:57:29 2003 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin c:\Perl\bin\ c:\WINDOWS\system32 c:\WINDOWS c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem c:\Program Files\ums\director\bin c:\Program Files\UMS . c:\WM\bin c:\WM\dll X .
