Re: PB: Initdb failure

Hi:
I am experiencing the same problem with initdb
(i.e. semctl(35, 16, SETVAL, 536) failed: Invalid argument)
and have tried the recommended solutions to no avail sofar.

My system info is:

Windows XP Professional, SP1
Cygwin 1.5.7-1

net start "cygwin ipc daemon 2" starts the service with no errors, and I
tried cleaning up
the related files in /tmp and restarting as suggested.

Can anyone explain what the problem is, i.e. which argument is invalid
and why?
Oh, and what I need to do to fix it would also be appreciated, thanks!
