RE: FW: [GENERAL] Given: Win98, Cygwin, postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz | Need: to make libpg/(++) libraries?

Thanks for the response, Jason... I think I will do that.

That was just what I was looking for, but I was looking for it in the 7.0.3
version. I could have sworn I read something about a 3-way split into
server-side, client-side and common for 7.0.3, but I was obviously wrong.
Anyway, the 7.1 has been officially released so I am hoping that it is
stable enough for my purposes.

Anyway, in my search and re-search I noticed that there are some people who
have Cygipc facilities working on a Windows 98 platform. As I understood
it, it was the IPC stuff - or rather lack thereof - that did not allow the
server side stuff to work. Is this the case?
