Hello,

 

 

Khagda : you were right. I thought that my cygwin was complete but i was wrong, so yesterday i made the complete installation.

 

Today i have made the

"./configure" + "make" + "make install".

 

It seemed to be ok BUT... when i called texmacs with

"texmacs &"

 cygwin answered :

" fatal error : i failed to connect to Xserver in 'x_gui_rep::x_gui_rep' "

 

:(((

 

Maybe texmacs(cygwin) is too difficult for me... I am desapointed...

 

I work with wintexmacs. The problem is that wintexmacs is not complete... This is why i have decided to change...

 

Thank you,

 

Richard

Did you also install all the programs mentioned in the point 3 in 
 
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cygwin.en.html 
 
It seems you are missing libgmp. 
 
First install all the packages mentioned in the web-page above. If doing that does not work 
then install 
 
libgmp3-dev 
and give a try. I think you are running into these problems because you just did a minimal installation of cygwin rather than the complete installation. Now you know how to install packages in cygwin, follow the step 3 in the webpage. 
 
Best,
