I've installed this version on my Win2K machine and can connect using pgAdminIII just fine. I then installed libpqxx 2.4.2 via (i.e., for and under) cygwin and find that no matter what I do I cannot get the most basic test routine (test001.cxx) to execute. The problem appears to be in the connection string, but editing the source and specifying a relatively complete connection stream (i.e., including host, user, and password) does not work. I'm also getting translation errors from the library when I use a name for the host instead of the IP address. I've seen several interrelated, confusing, unstructured comments throughout both the postgresql and libpqxx installation documents that mention some things to watch out for under cygwin, but I am confused. My specific questions are as follows: 1. Is the postmaster process now a Windows process that gets started automatically at system bootup time? If so, is this postmaster process available from both native win32 applications (e.g., pgAdminIII) as well as applications which run inside a cygwin shell? 2. Do I still need to start some process when attempting to run the libpqxx test suite under cygwin? For example, there was a process (forget the name) that had to be started using either cygrunsrv or ipc-daemon2 on at least previous versions.
