I am trying to install PostgreSQL 7.0 running under Windows NT. I have
followed Kevin Lo's instructions and have had no problems until trying
to run initdb.
I get the following
bash-2.02$ source .bashrc
bash-2.02$ initdb
: permission denied
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb: 34: Syntax error: Bad fd number
Obviously I have a permissions problem, but the install notes did not
mention anything about settings for specific user accounts. My mounts
are as follows:
Device Directory Type Flags
i:\postgres\source\pgsql /usr/src/pgsql native text!=binary
i:\postgres\binary\pgsql /usr/local/pgsql native text=binary
i:\usr\local\lib /usr/local/lib native text!=binary
i:\usr\local\include /usr/local/include native text!=binary
i:\usr\local\bin /usr/local/bin native text!=binary
i:\unix\root\cygwin-b20\share /sw/cygwin-b20/share native text!=binary
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
i:\unix\root\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\bin /bin native
text!=binary
i:\unix\root / native text!=binary
I am logged in as colin on a NT4 SP5 workstation authenticated by a NT4
SP5 server via LAN. I have administrator permissions granted to both
boxes.
Can anyone help me out here.
Thanks
Colin
