It occurs because you haven't applied the source patch. You can read out and download it here: http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html Note: Peter Schindler's remark above is correct. PostgreSQL will not run under Cygwin 1.1.8. There was a problem with fork I believe that caused the problem. It has been fixed, although you will need to download the most recent snapshot of cygwin to get it. Brent __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
