Problem creating database using windows2k + cygwin + cygipc

Hi there,

I am running windows 2000 (service pack 2) with latest version of cygwin an=
d cygipc installed.

when running initdb I get the following (this is for installation of brand =
new database with postgreSQL not installed prior to this install):

PGDATA=3D/PGDATA
$ initdb
This database system will be initialized with username "Tony".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

    /bin/postmaster -D /PGDATA
or
    /bin/pg_ctl -D /PGDATA -l logfile start


i.e. the DEBUG's are indicative of something not right...

when I try using pg_ctl start I get...
$ pg_ctl start
postmaster successfully started
DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-12-18 22:06:51
DEBUG:  CheckPoint record at (0, 1563240)
DEBUG:  Redo record at (0, 1563240); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE
DEBUG:  NextTransactionId: 615; NextOid: 18720
DEBUG:  database system is in production state

when I try using psql I get...
$ psql
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
        Is the postmaster running locally
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?

HELP!!!!!

Many thanks for any help you can give.
