Hurraay, finally i was able to load a shapefile into postgresql.
Thanks Norman.
 
Just wondering if there is any API (maybe in java) that can be used to load (specially from ArcGIS) shapefile data to postgresql.
 
Does postgresql support  storing of XML data(GML specifically).

Thanks, Norman,  'make clean'. did the job and i was able to compile postgis with
postgresql. There is a small problem associated when i ran the following command.
Any help is appreciated.
.
cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.3.4-2/contrib/postgis-0.7.5
$ psql  -d myGISdb  -f postgis.sql
BEGIN

assuming you have everything installed in the 'normal' place
copy postgis.dll to  $CYGWIN_ROOT/lib/postgresql
 
You will know if you have things installed in their cannonical
place if you see many other postgresql dlls there
