Makes perfect sense, but I simply followed the instructions in the README which were fairly straightforward: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ cygrunsrv -S cygserver [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ initdb -D /var/postgresql/data ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ cygrunsrv -S postmaster cyrunsrv: Error ... I've since retraced my steps, undoing what was done and started again. Suprisingly or not (depending on one's point of view), everything worked without problem.
