Re: Problem installing postgresql with cygwin - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

a) If you install cygipc, the libs will be there too.

b) You can get cygipc from:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.html
under NEWS, be sure to get v.1.11, not v1.12

c) Use the following command to install the cygipc package:
$ tar -C / -xjf cygipc-${version}.tar.bz2
where "${version}" is the version (e.g., 1.11-1).

d) I am NOT a guru. I read http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin.html
be sure to read it.

Greetings Joek

Hi Joek,
You are spot on. The config.log file is giving exactly the same
error as you suspected. I am providing a copy of the config.log
below. Could you please elaborate on how to fix this
problem.......like where I'll find cygipc libs and where to place
it............

-----------------Config.log----------------
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a
mistake.

configure:635: checking host system type
configure:661: checking which template to use
configure:824: checking whether to build with locale support
configure:853: checking whether to build with recode support
configure:883: checking whether to build with multibyte character
support
configure:937: checking whether NLS is wanted
configure:972: checking for default port number
configure:1006: checking for default soft limit on number of
connections
configure:1130: checking for gcc
configure:1243: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works
configure:1259: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
configure:1285: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a

configure:1361: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works
configure:1377: gcc -o conftest -O2   conftest.c -lcygipc 1>&5

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:

#line 1372 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}
----------End of config.log------------------------------------
