Обсуждение: Cannot initdb - Windows 98 SE

When I tried to initdb with -D /usr/share/postgres/data
and after setting env variable PGDATA, I get the following response.

.... and wait for a LONG while... no response.

Am I missing something obvious?

$ initdb
This database system will be initialized with username "keith".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Creating directory /usr/share/postgres/data
Creating directory /usr/share/postgres/data/base
Creating directory /usr/share/postgres/data/global
Creating directory /usr/share/postgres/data/pg_xlog
Creating template1 database in /usr/share/postgres/data/base/1

Make sure the cygwin IPC daemon is running.

From a bash session on my W2K box:

PC20 $ ipc-daemon &
[1] 568
PC20 $ ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     1564       1    1564       1564    0  500 13:56:56 /usr/bin/bash
      568    1564     568       1608    0  500 13:57:50
/usr/local/bin/ipc-daemon
     1436    1564    1436        868    0  500 13:57:52 /usr/bin/ps

The second process shown by the ps is the ipc-daemon running correctly. Note
that it doesn't ship by default with either Cygwin or PostgreSQL, so you may
need to download it from
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/index.html.
See /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README for more details.
