Re: INITDB error - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

All,

I'm back to the same problem as well.  Just to be sure I reinstalled
everything to do with Cygwin (again), and now I get the same error.  I can't
even guess why it worked the first try, since I haven't done anything
different this second time.  Is there something we should be looking out for?

Mike

(sorry if I sent this twice)

hi

in my installation on cygwin/winXP there is exactly the same error. i
updated cygwin before installing postgres 7.4.1, so i don't know what more
i could update there. before i ran postgres 7.3.x without any troubles.

does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
any help or ideas are welcome.

thanks,
