Hi, I was using PostgreSQL in version postgresql-8.2.4-1-binaries-no-installer.zip under Windows. I did the following: 1. I unzipped PostgreSQL into D:\PostgreSQL and created directory named "database" inside. 2. I exceuted (on non-administrator account "postgres"): initdb -D "D:\PostgreSQL\database" -U root --encoding=UTF8 --no-locale 3. I executed (as an administrator): pg_ctl -D "D:\PostgreSQL\database" register -N myPostgreSQLService Everything worked ok. I changed version to postgresql-8.2.5-1-binaries-no-installer.zip, and tried to repeat procedure above."initdb" failed because libpq.dll was not found. I discovered that localization of this library changed from /bin to /lib directory. When I added this /lib to PATH everything worked OK. Does anyone know what is the reason of that change? According to version numbering of PostgreSQL, changing minor version number (here: 4->5) means small bug fixing and no enhancements. Changing library localization is rather not a bug fix, and there should be a comment about that in release notes. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
