I installed version 3.0.3 of Octave with Vista as the operating system.
The installation was done from a current Cygwin mirror.
I have no difficulty in calling the Cygwin window and can call Octave
successfully. However, I need the X bash window if I am to be able to
use the plotting commands. In the Cygwin implementation that I
downloaded in July last year, the X window was called using startx in
the X11R6 directory. In the current implementation, there is no startx
and only run.exe in the X11R6 directory. Calling run from the Cygwin
window gives the error message "could not start c:\cygwin\home\Jan" This
refers to my home directory.
I know that this is not strictly an Octave question, but it does inhibit
my use of Octave. Any suggestions would be of great value.
Many thanks
Jan
