You're mixing stuff up.  You've installed cygipc version 2, which is
built for the test release of the upcoming Cygwin 1.5 DLL.  But postgresql
isn't built against this yet.  You should run setup again, leave the
'Curr' button selected, and let it install whatever it thinks it needs
to.  That will give you consistent binaries for Cygwin 1.3.22.  Then
read <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01125.html>.  This
contains pointers to all the information you need to know to install and
configure PostgreSQL.
