My mistake--I used the earlier version with the
ipc-daemon2 file. My present installation is 7.4.5.
After starting cygserver, I no longer get signal 12
from initdb.
$ ipcs
Message Queues:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER
GROUP
Shared Memory:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER
GROUP
Semaphores:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER
GROUP
But initdb fails with
FATAL: /usr/bin/postgres: could not locate postgres
executable
But:
$ ls /usr/bin/postgres
/usr/bin/postgres
Any help is appreciated.
TIA.
