Thread: PostgreSQL for Windows installation
I'm trying to follow your directions for installing PostgreSQL for windows under the link http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin.html but this set of directions seems to be old. I can no longer download the cygipc package, as it is "Obsolete". In the setup.exe, I tried including under the Utils section the "cygutils" option, but there is still no ipc-daemon. What am I supposed to do next? Thanks, Steve Riley seriley@pacbell.net

The tar file expects to unroll directly into 'usr/local' with no leading '/' so the fastest install is to cd to root first and then unroll it. Once you've done this: $ cd /usr/local/bin $ ls ipc-daemon.exe ipck ipcrm.exe ipcs.exe ipctest.exe I've had mixed results doing the install-as-service approach so I usually just start the ipc-daemon manually via: $ ipc-daemon.exe & > What am I supposed to do next? > > Thanks, > Steve Riley > seriley@pacbell.net > > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org
Hi! >I've had mixed results doing the install-as-service approach so I usually >just start the ipc-daemon manually via: $ ipc-daemon.exe & This is the way I have tried also but get the following error message when starting the ipc-daemon: "Der Prozedureinsprungspunkt "_ctype_" wurde in der DLL "cygwin1.dll" nicht gefunden" Unfortunately, I don't have the English version of that error message, but the gist is that the system complains about not being finding the given function in the dll. I get the same error message when trying to compile postgresql from the sources. Any ideas what may be going wrong? Has cygwin1.dll recently changes in incompatible ways? Thanks for hints! Best regards, Marc

Yes, you have an old version of cygwin1.dll somewhere in your PATH:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg01249.html
Find and delete it.

Thanks for the valuable tip that did the trick! An old cygwin1.dll had come with some product without me being aware of that.
