why don't you read the docs before installing the cygipc package?
1. less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql*
2. postgresql-7.4.5 uses cygserver and not cygipc anymore.
3. cygwin packages are installed via http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
if you have to use the src package, remove cygipc und rebuild or
remove cygserver and rebuild.
when the postgresql configure sees cygipc it will use that.
or (preferred) just install the postgresql, cygwin and python binary
packages.
