OK, fine thanks to both. I've found a page dealing with that prob : Fixing the postgresql initdb fatal shared memory error on Leopard<http://willbryant.net/software/mac_os_x/postgres_initdb_fatal_shared_memory_error_on_leopard> The points are to : Easy to fix; run: sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=65536 sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216 (The first one's the critical one for me, but second seems appropriate too.) This changes the limits in the currently-running kernel. To make these values stick across reboots, add them to /etc/sysctl.conf, like this: kern.sysv.shmall=65536 kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216 (Create this file if it doesn't already exist – it doesn't on fresh Leopard installs.) -- Yvon
