Re: Problems with initdb

Hi Denise,

I ran into this problem for quite a while until I read the README that
came with the PostgreSQL installation (under /usr/share/doc, I think).

I highly recommend referring to this document. There could be a couple
causes of your error, and since cygwin handles the Sysv IPC calls
differently than UNIX, the process, while straight-forward, is not
intuitive if you have never done it.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
