Hello,


I installed cygwin from cygwin.com using the "Install Now" button and
included postgresql, php and apache in the install.
This was done on 16-Oct-2002 cygwin vs 1.3.13-2 on Windows XP.


I then successfully followed steps 2-4 of
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin.html

I inserted 'c:\cygwin\bin' in Path as per Step 3; see Path statement
below...
c:\cygwin\bin\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft.Net\FrameworkSDK\Bin\;C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.
2204\

As 'net start ipc-daemon' returned the error "The service name is invalid",
I used 'ipc-daemon &' which seemed to work fine.


However, resuming at step 1.5 in
C:\cygwin\usr\doc\postgresql-7.2.2\html\install-procedure.html the ./config
command returns
"bash ./configure: No such file or directory".
[
1.5. Installation Procedure
Configuration

The first step of the installation procedure is to configure the source tree
for your system and choose the options you would like. This is done by
running the configure script. For a default installation simply enter

./configure
]


I note that in C:\cygwin\usr\doc\bash-2.05b\bashref.html, ./configure is the
start of BASH compilation.
In case it is relevant, I noticed bash.exe already exists in c:\cygwin\bin\.
There does not seem to be a configure.exe file anyway under the c:\cygwin
tree.


Any suggestions please?
Paul Desmond
