Hi,

I installed the default packages and PostgreSQL 7.3.2 using your Cygwin
Setup. Furthermore I installed the cygipc 1.13.2 package required by
Postgres and called ipc-daemon.

When I invoke initdb -D /opt/postgres/data the script creates several
directories, one template database, and some configuration files but finally
fails when initializing pg_shadow.
It reports
LOG: FindExec: invalid binary "/usr/bin/postgres"
FATAL: /usr/bin/postgres: could not locate executable, bailing out...

However /usr/bin/postgres -V and /usr/bin/postgres -? work fine.

The same happens with postgreSQL 7.3.1. Do I have to install further
(database) packages?

Regards

Werner Hans

What does the following command indicate on your system?

    $ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/postgres.exe
    drwxr-xr-x+   4 Administ None       221184 Feb 28 14:12 /usr/bin
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 Administ None      1981952 Feb 18 11:15 /usr/bin/postgres.exe

Does the following help?

    $ chmod a+rx /usr/bin /usr/bin/*
