Meanwhile, could someone tell where the cygcygip-2 package can be retrieved ? Goggle tells nothing.


Uncheck the box labelled "Hide obsolete and administrative packages" in setup.exe's 'Chooser' window, and it should show up.

I think the real problem is that BOTH cygipc-2 and kde-cygwin are dead. It appears that sometime last fall KDE-cygwin was abandoned in favor of a native port of KDE using the xming X-server. So, you've got a dead project depending on a dead package.

Expect trouble.

Workaround. If you connect thru a X-Server to a remote Linux machine thru a LAN which has KDE installed there is a easy workaround which I use since more than 1 1/2 years. Run the KDE on the remote computer. It even works over the Internet with a fast connection. Saves a lot of memory in the windoze system and with esd you have even sound etc.
