Running Postgresql 7.4.2 on Windows 2000 with Cygwin !

Dear Sirs

I have installed Cygwin (version 1.5.9-1) on my computer
(a K6-2 500Mhz with 256Mb RAM).

I have downloaded the file postgresql-7.4.2.tar.gz
and unpacked it and run the following commands:

./configure
make
make install


I have created an environment-variable called
CYGWIN and have set the value to server

I have made a shell-script that contains the
following line:

/usr/sbin/cygserver

I run this shell-script in a seperate DOS-box.

I have made a shell-script that contains the
following lines:

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
postmaster -i -n -d 2 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

When I run this shell-script I get the following
error-message from initdb :

FATAL: could not create shared memory
segment: Function not implemented
DETAIL: Failed system call was
shmget(key=1, size=1081344, 03600)
initdb: failed

What is wrong here ???????????
How can I solve this problem ????????????

My E-mail-address is: ***@riva-systems.dk

I hope to hear from you.

Best regards

Jan Christensen

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

You need to run the ipc-daemon in order to initdb or start the database.
Please see the FAQ.

Also consider using the cygwin postgresql package. Detailed instructions
for installing from the package can be found here:
