4:02 a.m.
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

The "cygcheck --sysinfo" output is:

Is C:\cygwin\bin\ in your PATH environment variable? Does it make a
difference whether you start XEmacs from Cygwin bash or not?

Today I tried something different. I started up a bash shell in an rxvt window
and ran xemacs manually. This gave me a similar error dialog, but it referred
to a missing "jpeg" library. So I updated my Cygwin install to install the
"jpeg" library and retested. This time it complained about a missing
"tiff"
library. I also tried rerunning from the icon, and it still gave the old error
about the missing "noX4" dll. I then reupdated Cygwin to install the
"tiff"
library. When I executed from the icon, there was no change, still the "noX4"
error. However, when I ran xemacs from the bash shell, it started up perfectly
fine and displayed no other symptoms.
I can't verify whether "c:/cygwin/bin" is in my path until tomorrow
morning,
but based on what I'm reporting here, I guess that seems like a likely
possibility. I'll report back tomorrow evening (or earlier if they finally get
my work email completely working).

PATH has little to do with it. It is AppPaths that dictate what gets picked
up when you run from the desktop. Try peeking inside your registry
at HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\xemacs-21.4.11.exe
and see if that looks ok. Maybe we are not setting this correctly on NT.
Maybe
its something to do with you not being an administrator.

Well, if he include ...\Cygwin\bin in his path XEmacs will find the
dlls, too since that's where those dlls are residing.

I didn't find that exact registry path, but I did find one that was close:
-----------------------
[WG44KA2G55H;] regtool
get '\user\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\xemacs-
21.4.11.exe\Path'
C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin;C:/cygwin/bin;C:/cygwin/usr/bin
-----------------------
I also found that when I added a PATH variable in the "user" section, adding
"c:/cygwin/bin", and then reexecuting the icon, it worked perfectly fine.
I would assume the intention is that executing the icon would use that path
stored at the registry key. As you suspected, I would guess it wasn't using it
for some reason. Note that I'm running this on XP.
