Re: initdb hangs

Hey Gary,

Download from here and follow the readme:

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/#LATEST

Cygipc is deprecated but not yet replaced. Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I had seen the mention about the cygipc in the readme, but I don't seem
to
have it installed and when I looked it up I saw a comment about it being

depreciated and being replaced by functionality in the cygwin DLL. I
therefore didnt' bother with it.

How do I go about installing it? I've had a couple of looks at
installing it
through setup.exe but I can't find it in any of the categories. (I've
got
cygutils installed which I thought contained it)

Thanks,

Gary
