Dear Uttam,

I suggest you download the latest binary of xcrysden for cygwin
(xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz) from here:

http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html

> "package provide Tk $tk_version"
>     (file "/cygdrive/c/XcrySDen-1.4.1bin-shared/Tcl/xcInit.tcl" line 400)
> """

Make sure you install other required packages as well, I think the above
error results from missing the tcl-tk package.

> Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY
> environment variable

I think this error is from missing the xorg-server package, you should
install it. I suggest that you install some kind of desktop environment
as well (e.g. mate desktop environment), some instructions on how to do
this are here:

http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/docs/ug/using.html

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Matic
