I believe the issue is that those BF members have kernel settings that only support running one postmaster at a time. The way you've got this set up, it launches a new private postmaster during a make installcheck; which is not only problematic from a resource consumption standpoint, but seems to me to violate the spirit of make installcheck, because what it's testing is not the installed postmaster but a local instance. Can you confine the test to only occur in "make check" mode, not "make installcheck", please? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
