------------------------------------------------
I am attempting to do a new installation of PostgreSQL 7.0.2 (although
this problem also occured with 7.0.0).
I follow the doc INSTALL exactly, but I have a problem when trying to
start the postmaster backend. I get the following error on executing
"/home/postgres/bin/postmaster -D /home/postgres/data":
---[ Cut ]---
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
---[ Cut ]---
My kernel has been compiled with "System V IPC" selected.
PostgreSQL 6.5.3 has been compiled and ran on this system.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:

By following the doc INSTALL through again, the same problem occurs on
trying to start the postmaster backend.
