Question about cygwin/postgres install - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

I found a webpage www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN that had �How to install PostgreSQL on Windows.

 

I followed the directions and got cygwin working.  I can do ls and all the unix commands.  The problem is that it says:

Once the down load is complete, open a Cygwin shell and do the following:

 

Start ipc-daemon2 for shared memory support, by entering the command �ipc-daemon2 &� Unfortunately, bash can�t find

this command.  I can�t either when I use windows explorer to search for it.  I am pretty frustrated.  The next steps tell how

to create a new database cluster using initdb and then the postmaster....  I see both of those in the bin directory.

 

Do you know where �ipc-daemon2� is supposed to come from?

 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best Regards,
