Thread: Version mismatch ?
Today I tried to install and test the postgresql 7.5 version I just downloade from this link : http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/win32snap/postgres_win32_7.5_devel.zip
When I entered the INITDB command on my Windows 98 as follows :
initdb -L "d:/pgsql/share"
I got the following messages :
fgets failure: No error
The program "postgres" was found by INITDB.EXE but was not the same version as "INITDB.EXE"
Check your installation?
Could there be a version mismatch ?

I just confirmed that the versions in the binary version are all matched. You probably have another version of postgres somewhere in your path, possible cygwin. You can check the versions yourself by looking at the modified date in the local\pgsql\bin folder. Also, you are using Windows 98. The postgresql native port will only work on NT based Windows systems. You need to get a hold of an XP or 2000 version of windows.
