Hello,
I have installed cygwin localy on a W2K PC.
I have installed the package ghostview, using the setup.exe utility.
Now, if I try to start ghostview, I type:
$ gv &
I get the error message:
gv: Unable to open the display.
I tried to set the DISPLAY variable:
$setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
But the setenv command is not known.
So I tried with set:
$set DISPLAY localhost:0.0
But this does not seem to do anything.
When I echo the variable DISPLAY:
$echo $DISPLAY
I just get a blank line.
Help would be very apreciated.
Thank you,
Daniel.
