Re: "psql" gives error.

You've installed the source package. Install a binary package
(it'll be called something like cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2).
Once its installed you should be able to run it from bash by:
ipc-daemon &
To install it as a service do:
ipc-daemon --install-as-service
or to remove as a service:
ipc-daemon --remove-as-service
Hope this helps,

Hi,

We are not able to start the "ipc-daemon". Ours is a Windows 2000 System, we
downloaded cygpic package from
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/. and the
version is "cygipc-1.09-2-src.tar" we unzipped this .tar file (using win
zip) and set the path to cygwin directory. While starting the ipc-daemon in
command prompt from the cygpic folder we get the error as follows "The
service name is invalid." we tried to start both using "net start ipc-daemon
&" and "net start ipc-daemon". Is the procedure we followed Correct? If u
have any step by step documentation pls forward us.
Expecting ur Reply.

Thanks in Advance.
Kannan.

I've never seen this before but there was a problem with the 1.3.9 cygwin in
relation to psql. It might be worth trying the latest snapshot. Also what
was your actual command? Maybe try giving psql -h 127.0.0.1 template1 and
seeing if you get any further with that.
