Thread: Problem installing postgresql with cygwin
Hi, I am trying to install postgresql on Windows2000. I have installed cygwin, cygipc. I have installed ipc-daemon as a service and started it. I downloaded the postgresql-7.2.1 distribution under cygwin distribution's /usr/src/postgresql-7.2.1/ As the first step to install postgresql when I run the ./config script I get the following error: $ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking which template to use... win checking whether to build with locale support... no checking whether to build with recode support... no checking whether to build with multibyte character support... no checking whether NLS is wanted... no checking for default port number... 5432 checking for default soft limit on number of connections... 32 checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes using CFLAGS=-O2 checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. I am completely at a loss as I have to meet some deadline. Regards Atanu Roy
is there a reason you need to build from source? if not, just install the binary that's part of the cygwin distro.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I need to install from source.
However, when I try to install from the binary with cygwin, then
also I encounter the following problem.
I am consulting the
J:\cygwin\usr\doc\Cygwin\postgresql-7.2.1.README document.
When I try to install in the basic mode by running initdb I get
the following error:
----
The program
'/usr/bin/postgres'
needed by initdb does not belong to PostgreSQL version 7.2.1, or
there may be a configuration problem.
This was the error message issued by that program:
/usr/bin/postgres: invalid current euid 500
-----
When I go for NT services Cygwin PostgreSQL installation
procedure:I cannot locate lusrmgr.msc & secpol.msc files in my
cygwin distribution.
Please help.

The end of config.log should give you a clue to why the above failed. But, see my next post... Jason
Atanu,

Why? What is missing from the standard Cygwin package?

Create and/or edit your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to fix the
above problem. See man mkpasswd and mkgroup for more details.

lusrmgr.msc and secpol.msc are standard Windows 2000 MMC snap-ins to
manage users and security policies, respectively. They are not part of
Cygwin. You can also find them under:
Start/Programs/Adminitrative Tools/Computer Managment
Start/Programs/Adminitrative Tools/Local Security Policy

a) If you install cygipc, the libs will be there too. b) You can get cygipc from: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.html under NEWS, be sure to get v.1.11, not v1.12 c) Use the following command to install the cygipc package: $ tar -C / -xjf cygipc-${version}.tar.bz2 where "${version}" is the version (e.g., 1.11-1). d) I am NOT a guru. I read http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin.html be sure to read it.
