RE: Re: Windows install

It seems that the cygwin stuff comes with this install (I already had cygwin
configured on my machine, but this install created another one, with all the
details taken care of).

The install went fine. Then i entered the cygwin shell (that had been
installed with postgreSQL) and did "su postgres" and then "mkdir
/usr/bin/data" and then "initdb --pgdata /usr/bin/data" which seemed to
work fine. Starting the postmaster didn't however:

bash-2.04$ su postgres
$ /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/bin/data start
postmaster successfully started up.
$ IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Permission denied) key=5432010, size=144,
permission=700
This type of error is usually caused by an improper
shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our
web site at http://www.postgresql.org.
IpcMemoryIdGet: shmget failed (Permission denied) key=5432010, size=144,
permission=0
IpcMemoryAttach: shmat failed (Permission denied) id=-2
FATAL 1: AttachSLockMemory: could not attach segment

I'm on WinNT 4.0 with service pack 6. Any ideas?

thanx much for your time,
~c

+Thanks for the pointer. Does this isntall require Cygwin and Cygipc
+to be installed first, or does it handle all that?
