The official PostgreSQL 7.1.3 source needs to be patched to build under the current Cygwin distribution (i.e., readline-4.2-3). If you really want to build PostgreSQL yourself, then you will have to patch the source yourself: http://www.ca.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-cygwin/2001-08/msg00066.html Why don't you just use the pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1.3 that I contributed to Cygwin? It is automatically installed when you run Cygwin's setup.exe. Jason
Where can I get a copy of cygwin with pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1.3?

Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.1.3-1 is available from the Cygwin mirrors: http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html I usually use the RCN mirror because it syncs often and is very fast: ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ [1] http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ [1] Appears to offline at the time of this writing. Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.1.3-1 is available on the RCN mirror at: http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/contrib/postgresql/postgresql-7.1.3-1.tar.bz2 Please use Cygwin's setup.exe because it will automatic install/update PostgreSQL for you. Thanks, Jason
