<P>1. Pre-compiled version with latest Cygwin package: ipc-daemon (cygipc 1.09) was running and then I tried to run 'initdb' it said IPCSemaphorCreate is not implemented.</P>
<P>2. I downloaded PostgreSQL version 7.1.2, cygipc 1.09, compiled in cygwin. First of all it gave hell lot of errors. Somehow I could compile it. I successfully started postmaster. But when I ran psql. It gave error</P>

<P>and at psql screen it said </P>
<P>psql: pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.</P>
<P>This probably means the backend terminated abnormally</P>
<P>before or while processing the request.</P>
<P>3. I downloaded latest PostgreSQL version 7.3.1. Compiled it, installed it but initdb did not let me go ahead. It was giving IPCMemory failure.</P>
<P><BR>DOS/Cygwin has maximum memory of 655360 bytes. And I don't know to increase this size.</P>
<P>Your valuable help is highly appreciated. I have wasted so much time and I have got nothing but frustration.</P>
<P>Thanks</P>
