dear listmembers,

I have a problem to configure geos and  postgis with cygwin/postgresql- I installed everything
successfully on a Windows 2000 machine- now I tried to install it on
a Windows 2000 server machine- is there any difference???
I followed the instructions from the Windows PostGIS Installation Guide and get the
error message: cannot create executables

in the log-file it says as follows:

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

bla,blah and then:
