I have installed the latest Cygwin release on Windows 2000.
After building and installing postgresql-7.4.3 (along with the PostGIS
contribution package), when I execute initdb the following error occurs.  A
couple of days ago I installed the postgresql package from Cygwin and initdb
worked fine.  I executed configure before building as follows:
./configure --with-perl --with-java --enable-multibyte --with-CXX --prefix=/
usr --sysconfdir=/etc --docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Larry Wipperman
