Hi All,

I have downloaded NT binaries and would like to start using postgres. I
have checked the tutorials but could not get started correctly.

The tar files dowloaded do not have a postmaster executable (I do not
no if it is necessary on NT or it is just a on UNIX).

I tried to start posgres.exe and I get the following message :

$ postgres

be 7.0
, not 7.0

, not 7.0
.
I do not really understand why there is fatal error on the version
(seems to be the same).

When I tried other executables :

$ psql
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No such file or
Is the postmaster running at 'localhost'
and accepting connections on Unix socket '5432'?

Any help would be really appreciated to get me started.

Thanks
