Thread: cannot install postgresql7.1.3 ----please help me

It looks like you don't have cygipc installed/running. Also a pre-built
binary comes with cygwin (you'll still need cygipc installed and the
ipc-daemon running)

Dear sir/madam,

I am installing postgresql7.1.3 on windows2000. I went through the ms faq
and the install readme file. I complete uptill "./configure" command. But
when I am typing the "make" command  I am getting errors. Following are the
last few lines when I got the error.

make[4]: `SUBSYS.o' is up to date.
make[4]: Leaving directory

I am very impressed by the postgresql and want to install. Please do help
me.

Actually, I believe that crypt is missing...

saurabh, why don't you use the pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1.3 that is part
of the standard Cygwin distribution:
