Trobuble Installing Postgres on an XP Machine

I need some help.  I have ftp’d the Postgres Source and used Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 to compile by grabbing the win32.mak file and creating a .dsw file from it.  I then used the .dsw file to perform a build of all components.  The compile seems to have gone OK – I got one warning from out of describe.c that does not appear to be an issue and the ligpq.dll (68KB), libpqdll.lib (19KB), libpq.lib (206KB) and psql.exe (106KB) were all created. I copied libpq.dll to WINDOWS/SYSTEM. When I execute psql.exe, I get the following error:

psql.exe: could not create socket: Address family not supported (0x0000273F/10047)

Any ideas on what I did wrong? Do the sizes of the files created by the build seem to be about right?

The target environment is an IBM T40 running XP Professional.
