postres using cygwin on windows95

[Amy <amy20elizabeth at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,

I have to create a database using Open Office and using PostgreSQL; to 
accomplish this i ran into Cygwin. I just read an SQL book, so I am very new to 
Prgramming. Heres my problem:

after installing (and installing the DLL files for win95)
i was able to open correctly. I also created data files with initdb comand. 
(though createdb says im not able to create a database because of my connection 
to the server failed)
So, now, i am trying to start postmaster here is my output

sucess. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/sbin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

or

/usr/sbin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start


I tryed both here is my error:

grocky@pur~
$ /usr/sbin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start
postmaster starting

grocky@pur~
$ /usr/sbin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start   58 [main] postm
aster 311205 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 384005, Win32 eroor 0
   2340 [main] postmaster 311205 fork: child 384005 - died waiting for dll 
loading; error 11


Ok is this somthing to do with my DLL files right? what can i do to fix this?? 
thanks  so much

amy
