Hello there,
I am trying to get my PowerBook to host a postgres
server.

I seem to be h aving troubles with the
shared-buffers. I have 1G of ram so don't know why
this is a problem...

Anyone else out there using pg8 on Tiger?

Any advice would be appreciated...

Chris

I'm running 8.0.0 on 10.4.1 with no problems.

You'll need to be much more specific about the problems you're seeing
before anyone can help you, though.

Cheers,

OS X has a pretty small default SHMMAX setting. Read the installation
documentation about configuring kernel settings ...
