[irc]

I have just installed Brooks Moses' cygwin port of OpenFOAM 1.3 on a WinXP P4 system (excellent work Brooks et al!). All seemed okay - ran the icoFoam tutorial, as per the installation README.

However, I hit trouble when following the first tutorial in the UserGuide, which calls on FoamX - the system complained that it couldn't find JDK. I tried downloading and installing J2SDK1.4.2_11, and set $JAVA_PATH. This then led to the following output on running FoamX:

ps: user -o unknown
ps: user -o unknown
ps: user -o unknown
ps: user -o unknown
ps: user -o unknown
Starting NameServer with inet:Dell:1234 ...
/home/Ian/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/bin/runFoamXHB: line 122: nsd: command not found

... and then the system hung. Am I missing something (eg nsd?) in my cygwin installation?
