Why nam.exe doesn't work in the cygwin without startX?

I'm trying to use NS2 but when I try to use nam.exe it'd not work! So is there other way to use nam.exe whitout using startX in CygWin?

thank you

Regards

  • ``nam´´ is a GUI application (for X), and as such it requires X.

    ``nam´´ is using some X libraries:
