I've tried fruitlessly to install cygwin1.1.8 work with postgresql7.03

Has any body out there done it?

Where can I get the latest postgresql7.1?

Thank you

I tried at one point though I don't know the cygwin version.

I didn't work; said c compiler cannot produce

What is actually wrong with the install? If you can't start the postmaster,
because its complains about the IPCs, I fall over the same problem, but
actually with 7.1. Some other guys investigated it already,
and there is a problem with the IPCs with cygwin1.1.8
So their suggestion is to downgrade to 1.1.7, but there is
trap when doing it, because of locked dlls.

Have a look into the threads of the -ports mailing lists of Feb2001,
especially this below, when downgrading:

This happened to me as well.  It occurs because you haven't
applied the source patch.  You can read out and download it
here:

Note: Peter Schindler's remark above is correct.  PostgreSQL
will not run under Cygwin 1.1.8.  There was a problem with fork
I believe that caused the problem.  It has been fixed, although
you will need to download the most recent snapshot of cygwin to
get it.
