	.Xdefaults not being read by thetrystero :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I just installed cygwin on Windows 2000 using the setup file. I used the default installation plus all of the X11 files. I'm now having trouble with xterms starting up without picking up the configurations in ~/.Xdefaults. when I try to do a xrdb ~/.Xdefaults, I get the following error: /bin/sh: cpp: command not found Very strange .. what does xrdb have to do with C++?

	RE: .Xdefaults not being read by thetrystero :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message hmm .. but i'm not really doing anything too funky in .Xdefaults, just setting background and foreground colors. i've done this on my linux box before and i didn't have cpp installed but it worked fine.

You almost certainly did have cpp installed. On Ubuntu, for instance - $ dpkg -S `which xrdb` x11-xserver-utils: /usr/bin/xrdb $ apt-cache show x11-xserver-utils \| grep Depends Depends: cpp, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libsm6, libx11-6, libxau6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxi6, libxmu6, libxmuu1, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.0), libxrender1, libxt6, libxtrap6, libxxf86misc1, libxxf86vm1 Pre-Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) This smells like a packaging bug to me, but with no X maintainer it's not one that's likely to be fixed, I suppose. ~Matt -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
