Re: PostgreSQL 8.1

hi, I see, I was confusing the data types. But, How I make to install PostGIS in Win2000 Pro?
I was reading the aid to install PostGIS and it says that I must install CygWin, when installing it and to run
./configure,say:  
"no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"
help please...
