help installing postgres with cygwin - initdb: IpcSemaphoreCreate fails - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

Hello,

I know there are several postings that seem to have a similar problem, but I
coudn't solve it with these texts. :-(

I installed cygwin and try to use the postgresql-package that comes with it.
The cygipc is version 2.01-2, I replaced the cygwin1.dll by a new one
(1.5.2).

Following the README [v1.36 2003/08/05] using the NT procedure, I get to the
point where I should run initdb as "posgres". Then the "famous" error
occurs:
IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not
implemented

A detailed listing of what I did as user postges and a cygcheck follows. Can
you give me some hints what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Claudia
