Any ideas? I can't reproduce it on my own machine. Running cygcheck on
/usr/sbin/initdb give very normal-looking results, and BLODA checks are
coming up empty. Is there something obviously wrong in my instructions?
Or should I have them send their cygcheck output and let folks on the
list try to diagnose the problem?
cygcheck output would be helpful, as always, but my wild guess is that
they have the wrong, or more than one, libpq installed.  If
I'm right, reinstalling libpq5 should fix this.
!

I just checked the cygcheck output again and found this:
cygcheck: track_down: could not find cygldap-2-3-0.dll

Not sure how I missed seeing that before...


cygcheck on my machine says the .dll belongs to libopenldap2_3_0-2.3.43-3; acursory check of setup.ini didn't turn up an obvious dependency listing. Is there a chance the dependency didn't get pulled in automatically like it should have?

Meanwhile, I'll tell my students to install libopenldap and see if that helps...

Thanks,
Ryan
