Thread: [NOVICE] Problems installing CygIPC for PostgreSQL
I've been following the directions from this site to install PostgreSQL on
a Windows XP machine:
http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp
Apparently CygIPC has been included with the Cygwin distribution since this
set of instructions has been written. I think I'm getting a bit lost as to
what I should do for the CygIPC install.. At one point the instructions
say:
1. To test the CygIPC install, launch a Cygwin shell window from the
desktop or Windows Start Menu and type:
ipc-daemon &
It should echo its process number and give no errors.
I do this and get the message:
$ bash: ipc-daemon: command not found
Any help would be appreciated.

i just did this and you need to download cygipc separately for installation, you can get it from www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.html also, it's easier using the binary rather than the source. cheers, jennifer Subject: [CYGWIN] [NOVICE] Problems installing CygIPC for PostgreSQL To: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org From: Steve_Miller@sil.org Date sent: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 14:56:58 -0600 > > I've been following the directions from this site to install PostgreSQL on > a Windows XP machine: > > http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp > > Apparently CygIPC has been included with the Cygwin distribution since > this set of instructions has been written.

Jennifer, thanks for the response. I found that URL about a half hour later. Then I had to get by my ignorance about bunzip and tar. But I think I got it now.
