Thanks Jason and Jim. In fact, the error occured while I was following the instruction of /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.2.1.README.
I had tried the first step of /cygwin/usr/doc/postgresql-7.2.1/html/installation.html. I am failed on the first step: "./configure" with the message "bash: ./configure: Not such file or directory" And I can't find configure.exe in /usr/bin directory. I guess I need to install the file. But what package is the file located? Thanks again for your help.
