I downloaded everything in binary by "Default" (and everything in Admin, Base, and Database). The Cygwin DLL version is 1.5.5-1 and the database is version 7.4.1. Then I downloaded a binary version of cygipc-1.14-1 and did the following: (a) cd / (b) tar -jxvf cygipc-1.14-1.tar.bz2 (c) ipc-daemon & No matter what, whenever I tried to initialize PostgreSQL, I always get the following error. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? $ initdb -W -D /my_data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "Administrator ". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. creating directory /my_data... ok creating directory /my_data/base... ok creating directory /my_data/global... ok creating directory /my_data/pg_xlog... ok creating directory /my_data/pg_clog... ok selecting default max_connections... 10 selecting default shared_buffers... 50 creating configuration files... ok creating template1 database in /my_data/base/1...
