Hello,

Running initdb of 7.0 beta1 on NT I got a problem with 'oid8' type. I've attached a simple and debug output of initdb.

Thanks for any help,
Alexei.

oid8 type should be gone in 7.0.  My guess is that some of the old files
are still around.

Will there be, or is someone working on a "SETUP.EXE" for Win32 PostgreSQL?

No one is working on a non-Cgywin32 port.  Too hard, I think.

Why don't you send me a patch.  :-)

Until a patch shows up, I will stick to my opinion.

It basically isn't worth re-inventing what cgywin does.

Thank you for the hint.  I have lumped together environment for 6.5.3 which
was on my computer and 7.0.  Now oid8 is really gone.  But the problem still
exists.  Postgres returns a fatal error when views are being made.  I
removed "-o /dev/null" from PGSQL_OPT to make it visible.  The most
interesting thing is that if I comment out the creation of pg_user view,
pg_rules is created OK, but I have the same error on the next view.

Thanks,
Alexei.
