[FreeNX-kNX] problem with freenx windows client

[Felix Schumacher]

There is an entry in the KB on the !Machine page, saying you will get
Problems installing 
nxclient parallel to cygwin. I got the newest nxclient 1.5 to work with
the newest 
Cygwin installation. Try to update your cygwin installation.

The other solultion given by !machine is to find all cygwin1.dll's on 
Your harddrive and (carefully) remove all but one. The one 
In cygdrive/usr/bin should stay. (It didn't help me, since that one was
older, 
And nx would refuse to work with it.)

Bye
 Felix

I had similar problems on machines with cygwin installed - but the
problems were caused by the fact that I used "mount -c" to change the
cygdrive prefix from "/cygdrive" to "/win". The Windows NX client has
"/cygdrive" hardcoded instead of querying the Windows registry for the
cygdrive prefix (as the cygwin.dll will do...).
When I changed the cygdrive prefix back to "/cygdrive", I could use
the NX client just fine. I have wanted to file a bug report about
this, but never got to it :-/

Is this what you're experiencing, too?

Cheers, Eric
