    Kevin,
	I was thrilled to see your page, as I had previously tried unsuccessfully
to build postgreSQL on NT.  However, when i try to follow your instructions,
I get an error at the third step:

>mount c:/Unix/Root /
mount failed: Device or resource busy

I was careful not to have any other windows open when i tried this.

	any clues?

Logout the Cygwin, then login. Run ``mount'' you should see that
mounted. If not, try ``mount -f c:/Unix/Root  /''.

Thank you very much.  I'm now on a different machine where cygnus is
installed in C:\cygnus instead of C:\Unix\Root   I'll go ahead with the rest
of your instructions here without uninstalling/reinstalling, as I shouldn't
think that this would make a difference.

	thanx again,

    This is crazy stuff (but i really appreciate your effort in assembling this
information).

I made it much farther now.  At step 10 In the instructions for installing
PostgreSQL 7.0 when i try

./configure


i get:

>./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

yet, it's obviously there and even seems executable

Generally this means it is a script and that the program
mentioned after the #! doesn't exist (or at least not
there).

I generally get this when transferring perl scripts to a
machine where perl is not in /usr/bin/perl...

Hope this helps...

Try ``/bin/sh configure''. BTW, did you follow my *step-by-step*
instructions ?? Seems you missed some steps.
