This can be usefull because only Exceed 2008 runs in Vista. If you don´t have exceed 2008, you must install Xming with the fonts package:

1) Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=156984

2) download Xming and Xming-fonts

3) Install Xming

4) Install Xming-fonts ticking all fonts when asked

5) Click on the Gambit Icon. In the options box, add "-dev X11" after "-r 2.4.6 ". So, you must read in the options box "-r 2.4.6 -dev X11"

6)Click "run". Gambit will shortly complain that does not locate exceed, but will work after some seconds.

If you don´t install the Xming-fonts package, Gambit will start working, but as soon as you try to mesh a face or volume it will crash with a sigsegv message.

The "-dev OpenGL" options doesn´t work with Xming.

This procedure also works in Win XP 32 bits. It has worked in Vista Home 32 bits. I have not tryed it in XP 64 or Vista 64.

This works very well. I have to run Xming before running gambit

Could you explain better how to do this:
"Click on the Gambit Icon. In the options box, add "-dev X11" after "-r 2.4.6 ". So, you must read in the options box "-r 2.4.6 -dev X11""
What is the Gamit Icon? I don't see the options box, what can I do to see it?
Thank you.

Hi Fabio

I make the same steps that you said, but when I try to run Gambit, it doesn't run, I wait but nothing happen.

I get the message that I forward. Please help me with that, as soon as you can.

Regards!

Hector

excellent tips thanx! I´ve tried to use xming but i had some troubles to configure screen resolution, so finally i used cygwin and works very well.

Hi Hector

I think that the Xming is not running when you start Gambit.

Xming should be running before you start Gambit.

It works well even Window 7 x64.

[vinaynitrkl]

my gambit version is 2.3.16.
My gambit stops working as soon as i click the run button!

Xming works as a perfect replacement for Exceed on Windows 7 32/64 bits, but only for Gambit 2.4.6

Thanks
