Re: Trying Cygwin version of PostgreSQL again

Hi Paul,

You might like to try the very good installation guide for PostgreSQL on
Windows at :

http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp

Added a link to it from the techdocs.postgresql.org website earlier
today too.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

I started from scratch following the page and adapting it where it is
out of date. I reached the stage of starting postmaster and receiving

Aww Rats.

I'll try it tonight and see how it goes for me.

Did you use PostgreSQL 7.2 or 7.1.3?

Hi Peter,

Haven't yet had the time to properly try this out. Did a quick initial
installation of PostgreSQL 7.2 with cygwin 1.3.9, and got the same error as
yourself.

I've had reports of PostgreSQL 7.1.3 working on cygwin however, but haven't
gotten around to trying that myself yet. There is a possibility that the 7.2
version of PostgreSQL that's made for cygwin might not yet be at a point
where it should be, due to PostgreSQL 7.2 only very recently being released.

There is a PostgreSQL "cygwin" mailing list which you can subscribe to and
ask the guys there about, and this sounds like it might be the best avenue
for you :

Hoping that helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,
