The program I am trying to run is over secure ssh and requires the ability to
run emacs in a separate window from the terminal. I ran it, but it was unable
to generate the separate window. So I tried using the -multiwindow thing like
in the user guide (which I don't understand at all, probably because I have
about five weeks of experience with linux), and this is what I got:
A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open
/tmp/XWin.log for more information.
Release 6.8.99.901-4
...
XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard
Fatal server error: cannot open log file "/tmp/XWin.log"
I tried fixing it by reinstalling everything, but that didn't work. What do I
do?
