Thread: Re: could not create shared memory segment: Function not

PS: Yes, I've searched the postgres archives for this problem and yes
I've seen many similar references to it and yes I've read the
FAQ_MSWIN file and yes I've ensured my cygwin binaries are before my
windows binaries in my PATH. And I STILL cannot get this to
work. Please help!

PSS: I've also created the small shmget test function that's attached
and it works fine with cygserver. I'm using cygserver, not ipc-daemon2
as stated in the FAQ_MSWIN

If you are using cygserver, you must have CYGWIN=server in the initdb
process space.

But most likely you didn't de-install ipc-daemon2, so configure picks
this up and links to the ipc-daemon2 library, instead of the cygwin1.dll
internal cygserver, so shmget will not be found.
