createdb,psql fails on Win2000

From
"Ole Brydensholt"
Date:
Hi,
I have installed the latest version of cygwin and cygipc.
Initdb ran without problems, but I cannot run createdb or psql.
I started postmaster as 'postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/' and it seems fine, last message is 'database system
isin production state'. 
But - whenever I run createdb or psql I get 'The Database system is starting up' and the program quits.
I have browsed the archives, but so far found no clues, so if someone can help....

Regards,
    Ole Brydensholt

Is the following applicable?

What version of Cygwin are you using?
