Dear PostgreSQL, I recently just downloaded the PostgreSQL 7.0beta1 tar.gz file from your server and was unable to get it to work. I then downloaded the 7.0beta snapshot for 3/09/2000 and I everything seemed to work just fine as far as doing the gmake, gmake install, initdb. When I tried to run the postmaster it says: IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432010, size=144, permission=700 This type of error is usually caused by an improper shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration. For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our web site at http://www.postgresql.org. IpcMemoryIdGet: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432010, size=144, permission=0 IpcMemoryAttach: shmat failed (Invalid argument) id=-2 FATAL 1: AttachSLockMemory: could not attach segment I'm running FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE. I have 64mb of memory, 6 gig hard drive, K6-2 166Mhz, ummm not sure that helps any. when I run 'gmake --version it outputs': GNU Make version 3.78.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
