I have a little more information about this problem reported September 2002, when trying to launch CATIA V4 with cygwin with PC display at 16 bits or 32 bits, we seem to have a color mapping problem, the error message we have is:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "10.227.22.46:1.0".

Have you tried uninstalling Cygwin and noticed that the problem goes away? If not, this should be your first step. The problem you're seeing is not obviously caused by Cygwin from the information given. FWIW, I run SolidWorks, Solid Edge, and Pro/E (plus allot of other programs - including some by M$ ;-) ) on many systems with Cygwin installed. So unless the CATIA team at Dassault have something against Cygwin, I expect this isn't your problem. But you'll need to get a bit more specific about the problem if Cygwin does have a role in it. Good luck, Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Nelson, Bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 13:29:01 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CATIA Launch Fails I've attempted to launch CATIA v4 with CYGwin.
