Hello,
I'm trying to run the Cygwin version of PostgreSQL on Windows 98 SE.
During initdb, creation of the initial database cluster is aborted with
the message
creating template1 database in /var/pgsql/data/base/1...
shmat(id=1179648) failed: invalid argument
The sequence of commands leading to this is as follows:
mkdir /var/pgsql
export CYGWIN=server
/usr/bin/cygserver-config -n
/usr/sbin/cygserver -E &
mkdir /var/pgsql/data
initdb -D /var/pgsql/data -E LATIN1
Software versions used:
cygwin 1.5.11-1
PostgreSQL 7.4.5-1
Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222 A
The same setup runs on Windows 2000 without problems. According to the
cygserver docs, it should run on Win98, too.
Does anybody know what's going wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Christian
