Обсуждение: postmaster fails to start

I have installed version 6.5 on Solaris 7, Intel.  I used gcc-2.95.1 and
gnu make to build.

Here is the result of initdb and postmaster -i:
cr-jay.com% initdb

We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=1003).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

FATAL 1:  ShmemCreate: cannot create region

Note postmaster without the '-i' also failed with the same message.

Hi!

You should check the mail archives. I've seen this happen before. It has to do with SysV shared memory failed.

Cheers,
