initdb doesn't work, because it says the shmget system call is not implemented. Is there anything I can do about this?
You need to start ipc-daemon2 before.
<http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.4.1.README> BTW, I found this by googling. It's loads of fun! ;-)
less /usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.1/README and less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.1.README is enough.
And one important issue is missing from the first section of the README: And you need to pass --locale=C to initdb also. I use this:
$ ipc-daemon2 --install-as-service $ net start ipc-daemon2 $ export PGDATA=/usr/share/postgresql/data $ initdb --locale=C $ pg_ctl -o -i
Option -i to enable TCP/IP connections since I couldn't make it connect via sockets.
