Cygwin problem, compiling from source

From

To whom it may concern,

I ran the configure and make and make install commands, everything seemed to
be fine. I can see that the DLL's have been installed:

153 ~/src/postgresql-8.0.1>find /usr/local/pgsql/ -name '*dll'
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/ascii_and_mic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/cygpq.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/cyrillic_and_mic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/ecpg.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/ecpg_compat.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/euc_cn_and_mic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/euc_jp_and_sjis.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/euc_kr_and_mic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/euc_tw_and_big5.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/latin2_and_win1250.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/latin_and_mic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pgtypes.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/plpgsql.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_ascii.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_big5.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_cyrillic.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_euc_cn.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_euc_jp.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_euc_kr.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_euc_tw.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_gb18030.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_gbk.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_iso8859.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_iso8859_1.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_johab.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_sjis.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_tcvn.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_uhc.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_win1250.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_win1256.dll
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/utf8_and_win874.dll

However, when I run:

>initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1

I see a dialog box saying:

This application could not start because cygpq.dll was not found

Do you have any ideas?

postgresql-8.0.1
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 Cognia-brian 1.5.13(0.122/4/2) 2005-03-01 11:01 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
Windows XP

Thank you,

Brian O.

Ensure you have /usr/bin/cygpg.dll
It must be in the path, not in /usr/local/pgsql/lib/ because it's
resolved by the Win32 process loader, not by cygwin.

The simplest solution is to add /usr/local/pgsql/lib to your PATH.

Yes, that's it, it must be in PATH.
