initdb problem

Hi,
 
I installed cygwin and now I want to start working with Postgres.
But if I type "initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data", I receive the following message:
 
Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data
Creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base
Creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global
Creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog
Creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1
cat: not found
 
Where is the "cat"-command available, what do I have to download and install, so that initdb works fine ???
 
 
thanks in advance.................................GERD...........................................

You did not install the textutils package (and most likely others too).
Unless you really know what you are doing, I strongly recommend installing
all Cygwin packages.

In the future, please post to the pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org instead
of this one.

Thanks,
Jason
