Hi,
I am trying to install postgresql on Windows2000. I have
installed
cygwin, cygipc. I have installed ipc-daemon as a service and
started it.
I downloaded the postgresql-7.2.1 distribution under cygwin
distribution's
/usr/src/postgresql-7.2.1/
As the first step to install postgresql when I run the ./config
script
I get the following error:
$ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking which template to use... win
checking whether to build with locale support... no

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
using CFLAGS=-O2
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C
compiler cannot create executables.
I am completely at a loss as I have to meet some deadline.
