My coworker wants to start learning LaTeX, and of course I suggested him
LyX. Unfortunately he is using windows. And I haven't never used really it
so it's difficult for me to help.
I installed huge amount of packages, starting from full MikTeX (direct net
install so it was the newest version whatever it was). Seems to be working
ok.
Then I installed full CygWin from the net. Seems to be working fine, too.
Then I grabbed and installed XFree/CygWin. Again, seems to working mostly
fine (altought gives some error messages at startup, eg. "can not start
mxterm" and something.) I downloaded and compiled and installed icewm from
source inside CygWin, and since it seems to be working quite fine I think
the install is ok.
Then I installed the LyX .zip package given somewhere on the LyX web
site. I extracted the .zip (using CygWin's tools, there didn't seem to be
unzip on Windows) and installed it. Everything seems to be ok so far.
Now, when I start first X server and then try to start LyX, XFree crashes
immediately (ie. the X window disappears). I tried running LyX remotely
from my Linux box, and it worked fine.
It is a Windows NT box.
