initdb fails

Hello,

 

I´m trying to run postgreSQL 7.4.13 on cygwin under Windows XP.

 

I compile the source and install postgre, but when I run initdb it fails:

…

creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... /usr/local/pgsql/

bin/initdb: line 644:  1752 Bad system call         "$PGPATH"/postgres -boot -x1

 $PGSQL_OPT $BOOTSTRAP_TALK_ARG template1

 

initdb: failed

 

I’ve read some about ipc services and think maybe that’s the problem. In the latest cygwin version there’s no ipc-daemon nor ipc-daemon2 command. Instead there’s cygserver. I’ve tried running the cygserver before and after installation, but initdb always fails.

 

Anybody knows what could be the problem?

when you compiled the source by yourself only you can/should know to
which ipc library you linked against.
ipc-daemon2 or cygwin via cygserver

yes, that's the problem. there is no ipc daemon running. or
the CYGWIN env does not contain "server".
