Re: Problem configuring Postgres under Cygwin

Hi..

Thanks for helping:

ls -l /usr/local/lib/libcygipc.a output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kob None 26912 Nov 27 2001
/usr/local/lib/libcygipc.a

This seems like the Cygwin installer has given wrong permissions on all
the files..

gcc -v -o conftest conftest.c -lcygipc output:
