Re: Problem with initdb on new machine

I had to update cygipc to get postgresql 7.2.3-2 to work on my WinNT
system.  Here's the story.

I recently upgraded my Cygwin installation picking up
postgresql-7.2.3-2 in the process, replacing version 7.2.3-1.  When I
tried to start the postmaster service again it would fail leaving this
message in /var/log/postmaster.log:

    IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1441792, 03600) failed:
    Function not implemented

Removing the MultiFile* and cygipc* files in /tmp did not help.

However, installing cygipc 1.13-2 fixed the problem and the postmaster
service is running fine again.  I had been running version 1.09-2 of
cygipc.
