Thread: initdb stalled?

Installed postgres using:

./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --enable-multibyte --enable-locale --
enable-recode

Ran initdb and a postgres process is peggs the CPU for several minutes
until I killed it.  It's a 600Mhz Thinkpad running:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 JESTER 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknown


Someone had to get initdb to work in order for this to be a supported
platform right?

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice
how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The
opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt
otherwise.

Rod,

Umm...I guess so. :,)

Please read the README (specifically cygipc):

I think I understand now (will try after applying that perl patch).

Someone should include those notes in the 'Installing under Windows'
section of the admin handbook.
