In any case, my guess is that you do not have the proper setting for the CYGWIN environment variable. On the default cygwin shell (bash), you could try doing this: export CYGWIN=server Then, try running initdb. If that does not work still, please give more details into what you're doing or, take a look at http://cygwin.com/problems.html and read the part that talks about running cygcheck. HTH. Thanks!
