Re: INITDB error

All,

I'm not sure exactly what solved my problem, but I updated Cygwin and all of
the components I downloaded several months ago. This included the
PostgreSQL 7.4 that was packaged with Cygwin, as opposed to the source
actually distributed from the PostgreSQL site. I can only guess what the
problem was before (perhaps incompatibility with an earlier version of
Cygwin). At any rate, it's gone now - I can compile and install the source
that came with Cygwin package I downloaded without any trouble.

Mike.

The bre-built version is not really an option in my case, since I need to
comment-out some of the warning messages to make it compatible with
PostGIS/MapServer applications that I'm using.

I'd prefer if someone could point out the source of the problem...I haven't
received any errors throughout the configure/make/install sequence, only
with
the initdb command. I don't understand the contents of the initdb script
well
enough to figure it out on my own...

Thanks,
Mike
