What is actually wrong with the install? If you can't start the postmaster,
because its complains about the IPCs, I fall over the same problem, but
actually with 7.1. Some other guys investigated it already,
and there is a problem with the IPCs with cygwin1.1.8
So their suggestion is to downgrade to 1.1.7, but there is
trap when doing it, because of locked dlls.

Have a look into the threads of the -ports mailing lists of Feb2001,
especially this below, when downgrading:
