Hi all,

I've had several students report difficulties installing postgresql 
under cygwin yesterday and today. They are starting with a brand new 
cygwin install, with the following packages beyond the defaults:
o    cygrunsrv: NT/W2K service initiator
o    libxml2: GNOME XML library
o    postgresql: PostgreSQL Data Base Management System
o    postgresql-client: Front-end programs for PostgreSQL
o    postgresql-dev: Development files for PostgreSQL
o    python: Python language interpreter
o    sqlite3: An embeddable SQL database engine
o    wget: Utility to retrieve files from the WWW via FTP and HTTP

They're instructed to run / usr/bin/cygserver-config from an 
administrator mintty, and then to follow the "easy impatient" 
instructions in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-8.2.11.README

The error message is:
> $ initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
> /usr/sbin/initdb.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot 
> open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? I can't reproduce it on my own machine. Running cygcheck on 
/usr/sbin/initdb give very normal-looking results, and BLODA checks are 
coming up empty. Is there something obviously wrong in my instructions? 
Or should I have them send their cygcheck output and let folks on the 
list try to diagnose the problem?

Thanks,
Ryan
