Hi,
I encounter a initial database problem.
The procedure I did is as following:
1. Download and setup Cygwin
2. Download the Cygipc-2.03-2.tar.bz2 file and put it under D:\Cygwin\.
Then I use "tar jxvf cygipc-2.03.2.tar.bz2 " to unpack the file. It seems
the unpack automaticly installed cygipc
3. Download the postgresql-7.4.5.tar and use winzip to unpack it into
D:\cygwin\usr\src\
4. I also download python-2.4 into D:\cygwin\usr\src
5. I install python first
6. Then I install the postgresql-7.4.5 with ./configure --with-python
------> make ------>make install
7. I issue the command "ipc-daemon2 &"
8. I then try to initialize the database with following command:
"/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data"
Step 8 give me the following error:
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"TONGTONG".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

I am running the cygwin on windows 2000
Could anyone tell me what was wrong with the setting up procedure?
Thank you.
Happy New Year
