It's not just for testing. I was using it in this cellular automata physics simulator. Please excuse the messy code; http://pastebin.com/17KXGzZa . On my Debian Linux installation of Octave and gnuplot, the script runs fine although right now it runs nearly instantly as I don't have any timer breaks. > Octave can work without the Xserver, but you can not plot > without it running. > > Without X11, I have on my XP : > > octave:1> image > warning: X11 DISPLAY environment variable not set > warning: loadimage is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of > Octave; please use imread instead > > Marco > As mentioned before, I get the error in terminal.txt (have you looked at it yet?) or something similar regardless of whether or not I have X11 installed and running or not. I've gone through 4 clean Cygwin installations trying to figure out what the problem was and I just got tired of re-downloading things. If you remove X11 from your cygwin installation, you will see that your terminal output still does not produce a crash. Yes, you are correct I do not have X11 installed (right now) but that shouldn't make octave crash and produce a dump when running the image function.
