Did you install gcc and/or binutils? Check out the end of config.log, it will help you debug the problem. I strongly recommend installing *all* of the Cygwin packages unless you are very experienced with Cygwin.

The above is a known problem that has already been fixed. See the
following for details:
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2001-02/msg00012.html
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2001-02/msg00014.html
A third alternative to solve this problem is to use Cygwin 1.1.8-2 with
cygwin1.dll replaced by one from a recent Cygwin snapshot. In retrospect,
this is probably the best solution until Cygwin 1.3.0 is released.

Kevin's howto is a "little" dated. You no longer need to use TCP/IP sockets to connect to postmaster under Cygwin, you can now use the default Unix domain sockets (as on other Unix platforms). Hence, the solution to the problem above is to start psql *without* the "-h localhost" option. Otherwise, you need to start postmaster with the "-i" option which instructs it to listen on TCP/IP sockets too.

The above assumes that you are using a recent version such as 7.1beta5. If you are using 7.0.3 with my patches, then you must start postmaster with the "-i" option under Cygwin.

With PostgreSQL 7.0.3 under Cygwin, you have no choice but to run with
"postmaster -i" and "psql -h host" (where host could be localhost, etc.).

You don't have to, but I would strongly recommend it since it builds
OOTB (i.e., no patches are necessary) under Cygwin and for many other
compelling reasons too.

You can find it at:
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev/postgresql-7.1beta5.tar.gz
or another PostgreSQL mirror.

I'm glad that Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.0.3 is working for you now. I would
still recommend that you use 7.1beta5 or later because there are issues
with 7.0.3 that have been solved in 7.1. For example, multiple
concurrent connections will cause postmaster to abort. See the
following for details:

hi Jason, I don't know why cygipc1.09 fixed the make problem. But this time i install the cygipc 1.0.9 in the /usr/local instead of under /home/usr/local. But when i got to step 14 and run 'postmaster -i &', i have another new problem. It shows: "C:\cygwin\usr\local\pgsql\bin\postgres.exe: *** recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed Startup failed - abort" Could anyone give me any idea?

IIRC, step 5 is no longer needed for 7.1beta5. Remember that Kevin's howto
is for 7.0.3 not 7.1. Hence, it is a tad out of date at this point.

Your /usr/local/pgsql/data is left over from your 7.0.3 installation.
What I did was just rename data to data-7.0.3:
mv /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/data-7.0.3
After completing the above, retry the initdb -- it should work this time.

Use "pg_ctl stop" to shutdown PostgreSQL and use "net stop ipc-daemon" to stop ipc-daemon (assuming that you installed it as an NT service).

I just tried it myself and it works. The only difference that I can see
between your setup and mine is:
1. I'm logging in as jt not administrator (but actually jt is in the
administrators group)
2. I'm using a cygwin1.dll that I built myself from Cygwin on Feb 13
09:39 2001.
The only idea that I have is try the list. BTW, when initdb crashes, is
their any output?
Thanks,
Jason
