I am resending this as it seems to have disappeared in some black hole. Sorry if this turns out as a duplicate.

Are my settings correct? Your settings are correct, however I just discovered that the official cygwin version of LyX (the X11 version) has been built with the lyxpipe functionality disabled. Most probably the build system used did not define HAVE_MKFIFO, so stub functions were used (the lyxserver works, though). Please try installing this version: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-1.4.4-cygwin.tar.gz this is fully functional and you can install it in parallel with the official version. Unpack the archive and read the README file for installation instructions. -- Enrico
