But at least I'd like to help track down the culprit. The interesting fact is that I've downgraded all relevant packages that I can think of (PostgreSQL, cygwin1.dll), rebooted the box, stopped cygserver, but still get the error. How can I hose a Cygwin installation that not even downgrading helps? What is it that I did not downgrade that causes the problem? Does setup.exe keep a log of what I precisely up/downgraded? I do like PostgreSQL on Unix a lot, but I really hate to ever touch setup.exe because more often than not I'm left with a broken database engine. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
