Thread: Re: Segmentation fault - Win2k w/ Cygwin & Postgresql 7.

There's a problem with cygwin-1.3.9. You need to use the latest
cygwin1.dll snapshot from http:\\cygwin.com\snapshots .
Put this in /bin (default of c:\cygwin\bin)

Actually (and thankfully) , Cygwin 1.3.10-1 was just released.  Please use
that version instead.

Tried the snapshot first, but I had already corrupted my pg_hba.conf file
with attempts to fix...

Downloading -1.3.10-1 worked!

Thanks...

Hi all

Is it normal behaviour that psql does all its output via less?
Is there a possibility to have psql working like it does under Linux?
