AFAIK cygipc shouldn't need to be running to make an
executable,  and it must be started or else PostgreSQL
wouldn't be up and running.

But your post did jog my mind :-)

Armin

Does the user postgres at ROCKY have sufficient privilige to
create executables in /usr/src/postgresql-7.2.2-1 ??

As I mentioned in my earlier post 'ntsec' is now turned on by
default and is strictly enforced !

Try building again after logging in as a user with sufficient privelige

If 'ntsec' doesn't mean anything to you see
