XP is supported because Cygwin supports XP. Sorry, but I don't have
access to XP, so I can't help to debug this problem. However, note that
others have reported success with XP.

Try to use strace to debug. Note that you will have to temporarily
replace the postmaster symlink with a copy of postgres.exe:
$ rm /usr/bin/postmaster
$ cp /usr/bin/postgres.exe /usr/bin/postmaster.exe
This is because strace is *not* a Cygwin app, it's a Mingw app, and does
not understand symlinks.
Run strace as follows:
$ strace -o postmaster.log postmaster -i -D /database
You can also try posting your problem to the cygwin@cygwin.com list.
BTW, did you really initdb into /database?

hi Jason and all, I have succeeded in launching the postgresql, I have removed all installed components, removed all registry entries and rebooted. next I have downloaded all the components to my hard drive, I have chosen the newest available versions and then installed it all from my hard drive. I know that not all is required but I wanted to make sure it will go smoothly as it probably went to the developers and testers that supplied this installation package. next I have created a file called: .bashrc in my home directory containing: set PATH $PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/bin set PGDATA /usr/local/pgsql/data set PGLIB /usr/local/pgsql/lib set LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PGDATA PGLIB next I have executed the next lines (this lines actually creates a new database default called: template1): source .bashrc ipc-daemon & initdb /database and last I have called these lines in order to launch the database: /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /database -l logfile.txt -o -i start & the last step was to download the PgExplorer from: http://www.davecentral.com/projects/pgexplorer1/ and connected to the database and created tables etc. all worked fine, I have also connected through JDBC its perfect. if any one have problems with this explanation or need to ask questions you are more then welcome. Jason - again thanks for the help and replies.
