Hello,
I am working on installing Grass 5.3 under Cygwin and cannot get the X
windows installation to work.
I also have some older Grass versions that do not work correctly and I would
like some help uninstalling these Grass Versions.
Could someone post some links to installing Grass 5.3 under Cygwin.
thanks
Stephen

Are you using a recent version of Cygwin with the new X.org X server? If so make sure and install the XFree86 compatibility package (it is not done by default). What exactly is the problem?

rm -rf /usr/local/grass5
rm /usr/local/bin/grass5
check paths carefully but that should be all there is to it.

Paul,
I got Grass53 to run using the following :
6.2.2 XFree86 multiwindow mode
In cygwin, launch the XFree86 server at Cygwin Bash prompt with:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard &
Now the X Server is listening and will open X related windows in individual
windows. Then start GRASS as usual:
grass5
d.mon x0
d.mon sel=x0
tcltkgrass &
nviz elevation.dem vect=roads & ---> not working because I do not have this
dataset
This runs GRASS similar to a common MS-Windows application
I am using the "global" dataset for a tutorial and can not view the "eco"
raster dataset using the nviz command:
Running command: (I think)
nviz el=eco
results in the following error:
"The Dynamic link library cygXft-2.dll could not be found in hte specified
path."
I am guessing there is something wrong with my cygwin installation.

Paul,
The links you list below are problematic. I don't know whether the server is
just down or the URL's have changed.
The parallel page on the grass.itc.it site is
http://grass.itc.it/grass50/binary/windows_cygnus/
However, this is years out of date. It is hard to distinguish what is still
relevant for GRASS 5.3 and what is not.
A more up-to-date page for Cygwin installation is found at
<http://grass.itc.it/grass57/binary/mswindows_cygwin/cygwin_grass.html>
GRASS 5.7 installation instructions can be found nearby at
<http://grass.itc.it/grass57/binary/mswindows_cygwin/>\.
Comparable installation instructions for 5.3 (without the Cygwin info) can
be found at
<http://grass.itc.it/grass53/binary/mswindows_cygwin/>
Finally, I ran into a pretty good set of instructions for Cygwin, GRASS 5.3,
and GRASS 5.7 a month back and posted it on my web site.
<http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/grass.htm>
I hope this is helpful.
There was some discussion recently about cleaning up some of the older
descriptions on the itc web site. Maybe we could ask for that again.
