It's loads of fun! ;-) less /usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.1/README and less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.1.README is enough. And one important issue is missing from the first section of the README: And you need to pass --locale=C to initdb also. I use this: $ ipc-daemon2 --install-as-service $ net start ipc-daemon2 $ export PGDATA=/usr/share/postgresql/data $ initdb --locale=C $ pg_ctl -o -i Option -i to enable TCP/IP connections since I couldn't make it connect via sockets. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
