1. What version windows? If by some oddball chance you are still using
windows 95, you need to get winsock 2, and strongly consider upgrading
your OS.
2. What version postgres? If you are using the cvs sources, their may
be some unresolved issues wrt the windows port. Stick to the official
7.4.1 for compiling psql.
3. If you are still stumped, consider trying to use the internet
services when your application loads (like resolving yahoo.com in
gethostbyname() ). This will load up the winsock dlls which are
sometimes demand loaded. If all else fails, bite the bullet and call
WSAStartup and see what happens.
