I am trying to install PostgreSQL 7.0 running under Windows NT. I have followed Kevin Lo's instructions and have had no problems until trying to run initdb. I get the following bash-2.02$ source .bashrc bash-2.02$ initdb : permission denied /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb: 34: Syntax error: Bad fd number Obviously I have a permissions problem, but the install notes did not mention anything about settings for specific user accounts. My mounts are as follows: Device Directory Type Flags i:\postgres\source\pgsql /usr/src/pgsql native text!=binary i:\postgres\binary\pgsql /usr/local/pgsql native text=binary i:\usr\local\lib /usr/local/lib native text!=binary i:\usr\local\include /usr/local/include native text!=binary i:\usr\local\bin /usr/local/bin native text!=binary i:\unix\root\cygwin-b20\share /sw/cygwin-b20/share native text!=binary \\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary \\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary \\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary \\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary i:\unix\root\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\bin /bin native text!=binary i:\unix\root / native text!=binary I am logged in as colin on a NT4 SP5 workstation authenticated by a NT4 SP5 server via LAN. I have administrator permissions granted to both boxes. Can anyone help me out here. Thanks Colin -- Colin Woolmer
