Обсуждение: Fw: Install PostgreSQL on Windows??
Hi, I tried to install PostgreSQL7.2.1 on Windows XP and I followed the steps listed in FAQ_MSWIN. Following are the problems. The first step is to install Cygwin from http://cygwin.com/. According to step 1 of FAQ_MSWIN, there should be a PostgreSQL readme file, /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-${version}.README, but I couldn't find the file (after installing Cygwin). I would guess that the pre-built PostgreSQL is not included in the cygwin package. The next step is to install cygipc from http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/. According to instructions from that web site, there should be a program "bunzip2.exe" in /bin. Again, the program is not there. I need that program in installing cygipc. Did I miss something? Where should I do from here? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Kevin

Note that Cygwin's setup.exe no longer installs all packages -- only a "Base" set of them. > Did I miss something? In setup.exe's chooser, expand the "Database" category, select PostgreSQL, and install it. > Where should I do from here? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Please read the README: /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.2.1.README or http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.2.1.README Jason
