Hi, For some time I'm using a well-working (for me) Cygwin distribution - v1.3.2, PostgreSql 7.3.2, CygIPC v.1.13.2, PsqlODBC v.07_02_0005. I configured and started it fine in the past on WinNT, Win2K Pro/Server, WinXP Home/Pro. Recently I tried to manage it under Win2003 Advanced Server (as allways, foolowing the "postgresql-7.3.2.README" located in myDrive\cygwin\usr\doc\Cygwin).
I have cygIPC started, but initDB failed with the following message: "The program 'postgres' is needed by initdb but was not found in the directory /usr/bin. Check your installation." I tryed to figure out what is wrong with my installation, checked initdb script, tryed to correct it a bit, no success. Due to lack of time I have had to switch to Win XP/Pro - everything went well with the same distribution. I'm curious - what was wrong with W2003 ? I tried to google this group, but didn't found a relative topic (yet). I'm not sure if I will have access to that 2003 box anymore, but would like to have a correct answer in case of future Win2003 instalations. I wouldn't like to upgade (if possible) to the latest CygWin/CygIpc distribution due to missing time for investigation of differences/new bugs and for rewriting of my GUI application in order to comply with the latest requirements (as I did it when migrated to PostgreSql 7.3.2). I'm using triggers, stored procedures, have optimization plan, etc. Many thanks in advance.
