According to the README, I wasn't running cygserver (and cygserver-config). I tried doing that, but get "bad system call" errors anyway. If your "previous advice" is about sending cygcheck.out to the list, I'm going to have to say no. Otherwise, I don't understand your complaint. Anyway, I found out that PostgreSQL seems to support Win32 directly, so I'll try that. -- 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/
