Hello!
I've updated today to Cygwin 1.5.18 because I wanted to install PostgreSQL 7.4.5.1.
Six months ago I installed Cygwin + PostgreSQL without problem, but today, with this new Cygwin, it's totally impossible install anything. I follow http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_CYGWIN.html but when I run the next command:
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
It doesn't create the dir "data" and returns a error related with "cp" and "/dev/null.exe"
Well, I tried to install PostgreSQL 8, and using before of "/usr/sbin/cygserver &" the command "export CYGWIN=server" I can run
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
with a success, but the problem comes later, when
postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
returns a "segmentation fault (core dumped)".
I've tried ALL in this world and I've been reading forums, FAQs, everything… but nothing :(
I'm crazy :( And the most terrible is I need for today PostgreSQL working…
Thanks in advance, please, write me back as soon as posible.
