Thread: postmaster not starting on my MS WIN NT

Hi everybody

I found the needed install package for postgres 7.0.3 for win32.
Installation worked. When I try to start the postmaster in the cygwin bash
shell with

postmaster -D /data

I get the error as documented in the attached gif.

It says something about shared memory problem and semaphore stuff.

Thanks for any help ... jr
