Thanks for the pointer.  Does this isntall require Cygwin and Cygipc
to be installed first, or does it handle all that?

It seems that the cygwin stuff comes with this install (I already had cygwin
configured on my machine, but this install created another one, with all the
details taken care of).

The install went fine.  Then i entered the cygwin shell (that had been
installed with postgreSQL) and did "su postgres"   and then "mkdir
/usr/bin/data" and then "initdb --pgdata /usr/bin/data"  which seemed to
work fine.  Starting the postmaster didn't however:

bash-2.04$ su postgres
$ /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/bin/data start
postmaster successfully started up.
$ IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Permission denied) key=5432010, size=144,
permission=700
This type of error is usually caused by an improper
shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our
web site at http://www.postgresql.org.
IpcMemoryIdGet: shmget failed (Permission denied) key=5432010, size=144,
permission=0
IpcMemoryAttach: shmat failed (Permission denied) id=-2
FATAL 1:  AttachSLockMemory: could not attach segment



I'm on WinNT 4.0 with service pack 6.  Any ideas?


    thanx much for your time,

Well, I have questions about your post, and a possible suggestion on
your problem.

1.  I tried what you just described, but I folloed the instructions in
the INSTALL document and ran ./configure.  This failed with an error,
and I had exactly the same problem on both W2K and W98.

$ ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking which template to use... win
checking whether to build with locale support... no
checking whether to build with recode support... no
checking whether to build with multibyte character support... no
checking whether to build with Unicode conversion support... no
checking for default port number... 5432
checking for default soft limit on number of connections... 32
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
using CFLAGS=-O2
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.

2.  Supposedly, PostgreSQL requires Cygipc to be running.  Cygipc does
not seem to be included with Cywin even though PostgreSQL is included
and requires Cygipc.  I found Cygipc at
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/index.html

+After I install Cygwin, I look in the cygwin root, and there's a
+folder called postgresql-7.1RC2.  This folder appears to contain the
+files for installing Cygwin including the INSTALL document I referred
+to.  What did you find in your Cygwin install?

I had cygwin installed previously (from many months, if not years ago).
When I ran the pgsql.exe file mentioned at the bottom of all the quoted
stuff in this post, it unzipped 10 files.  One of those was a setup.exe, so
i ran that.  This seemed to install everything that is necessary (including
cygwin, and now that i look closer, an ipc-daemon.exe file as well).   I
believe we must be talking about two completely different installs, as the
file I'm working with seemed to install 7.0.3, not 7.1RC2.  It sure looks
from the quoted stuff that you got your file from
http://208.160.255.143/pgsql/pgsql.exe.  That's where I got what I'm working

After further fussing, I found that this install works just fine.  It is a
7.0.3 version, not 7.1, but when I finally figured out that the default user
is "sysdba" instead of the "postgres" I expected, I was able to get it to
work.  None of the machinations I suggested earlier like "initdb" were
necessary.  Cygwin and Cygipc both get installed and configured properly
(though there are some stray registry keys that need to be manually deleted
if you uninstall, and then try to install again).

    sorry for any confusion i might have caused,

Ah - that's the confusion.  I gave up on the pgsql.exe because it did
seem to run the server for me, but behaved badly on the system.  It
starts up when the user logs on, and it only works if you log on as
the same user who installed it.

After giving up on that, I noticed that they just added PostgreSQL to
the Cygwin download from Red Hat - http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/.
My previous post is based on this as a starting point.
