6.4.2 compliles fine [with gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2

Perhaps your kernel is configured differently than ours, but we have
compiled and are running 6.4.2 on Solaris 2.6 (Sparc) without a hitch. So,
either there is not enough shared memory in your kernel, or it's something
to do with the compiler - we used the commercial Sun c compiler.

I install postgres 6.4.2 on Sparc Soalris 2.6 with no problem. I complile
it with gcc version 2.7.2.3. But I have same error messages when I try
postgres 6.5. I think there is not enough memory, not compiler
problem. I'm tring to find the reason of these messages now :)

Put this at the bottom of /etc/system and then reboot:

set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semume=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100

This should create the shared memory segments you need to run with the -B
option.

Hi!

I resolved this problem. I have PostgreSQL 6.5.0 on sparc-sun-solaris2.6,
compiled by gcc 2.7.2.3. When I started postmaster -i, I had same error
messages.

You need to tune system parameter (shmsys) of kernel in /etc/system.

I add into /etc/system:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=10
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=200
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=250
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=500
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=500
set semsys:seminfo_semume=100

then

# reboot -- -r

and

% sysdef

...

*
* IPC Shared Memory
*
268435456 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
10 min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
200 shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
200 max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG)
*

...

Now I start postmaster -i and it run ok.
