Postgres 7.4.5 fails with Cygwin 1.5.18-1 (core dump)

An old W2K installation now fails with core dump after postmaster.
A new WXP installation fails in the same way.

Cygserver is running as a service and is started

Postmaster core dumps when run.

Running postmaster with debug gives:

I have tried the 19th August snapshot of cygwin dll, which is the earliest on
the snapshot page, but that reports as incompatible.

Another postee reports successfully using the 9th Aug snapshot.  Anyone know
where I can get that?

That nothing happens is very unlikely.
I assume your initdb fails with signal 12
like
creating configuration files... ok
creating template1 database in /var/postgresql/data/base/1... Signal 12

initdb: failed

This tells you that IPC couldn't be initialized, most likely that 
cygserver is not running or your /etc/cygserver.conf settings are too small.

Doubts

Hi

I just starting to get involved on the open source environment, my name is 
juan and really interested on learning about Postgre SQL.

Accordding what I have read, PostgreSQL is based on two main function or 
capabilities:

1.- Server Side, which main functions are Database Creating and Managing, as 
well as Maintenance and Troubleshooting.

2.-Client Side, which main functions are Database Query, and remote data 
Handling.

I am trying to install PostgreSQL on my computer, however it seems i require 
Unix System intalled on it before creating any table on PostgreSQL. Actually 
i have MS-DOS sistem on my computer so i will have to install Linux. My 
question is, can i install Mandrake 10.1 on my computer before installing 
PostgreSQL?, is that enough?. I think once Linux gets installed the whole 
syste will work on Unix Operating System then i would be able to install 
PostgreSQL, right?,or do i have to install a more powerfull Linux version in 
order to start creating the Database.

On the other hand, i downloaded "postgresql-8.0.3.zip" from postgreSQL page, 
is this the package the one i must install to initiate creating my database?

Thanks for your answers.
Kind Regards

PostgreSQL can be run on several different operating 
systems.  A good place to start is by reading over the 
FAQ at the postgresql website - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq/.

This particular mailing list talks about running PostgreSQL
using Cygwin which is Linux like environment for Win9x, WinNT, etc.

Mandrake 10.1 (which is now Mandriva Linux 10.1) will have
no problem running PostgreSQL.  Mandriva actually comes 
with PostgreSQL as an installable package so you don't have
to download anything unless you want the most recently 
released version.

The real question is, "Can your computer handle Mandriva?".
Mandriva takes a decent amount of horsepower to run.
If you are running MS-DOS it must be an older computer.  
Depending on the capabilities of your computer you may be
forced to go with an older version of Linux or a Windows

Looks like you are trying to initialize your database, not 
run postmaster.  It appears that initdb is not in your
search path.  Depending on how you installed, it should be
in either /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.  These would need to
be added to the PATH environment variable for the user that
is executing the command.

Another way to locate initdb would be use the find command.
For example, at the / directory type find -iname initdb.
