Hi,
I have struggled to install postgres from the latest Cygwin release. At
first, I used the standard clean installation of cygwin, but the
standard install uses cygipc 2.0.1-2, which appears to need some extras
to run. At first, I got a __getreent error from the cygwin1 dll when
trying to start ipc-daemon2, but then I installed the latest
(experimental) version and got different errors. After messing about for
a while, I found that if I installed the "Exp" installation of cygwin,
most of the required libraries were installed. The exception was
libpopt, which I installed manually. After this, all was well.
This may indicate some problems with the dependencies and packages in
the distribution. I note that
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.4.README
doesn't mention the libpopt package as a requirement.
Cheers,
Brian Lowe.
PS. Should this be posted to a more general cygwin mailing list ?

Unfortunately, you are experiencing some of the pain associated with the
impending upgrade of Cygwin from 32-bit to 64-bit I/O. Welcome to the
party :,)

Try again and do a "Curr" installation. Then follow the above README --
especially the part about installation cygipc 1.14-1.
Hopefully, the pain will end on 2003/8/23 -- the scheduled Cygwin 1.5.x
release date. Sigh...
