Hi
Sorry if it´s the wrong place to post this. Please let me know where is the
correct place.
I'm upgrading from PostgreSQL 6.4 to 6.5.2. I compiled 6.5.2 and installed
it in an machine (that was not running 6.4) for tests but Postmaster want
not run.
Os: Sun sparc solaris 2.5
compiled with GCC 2.8.1, FLEX 2.5.4
Compilation and install runs OK!
Initidb could not tell what username to use (I was su postgres) so I tried
initdb -u postgres and works, see bellow:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$
initdb
Can't tell what username to use. You don't have the
USER
environment variable set to your username and didn't specify the
--username option
$ initdb -u postgres
We are initializing the database
system with username postgres (uid=1156).
This user will own all the files
and must also own the server process.

I tried to start postmaster and it report an error, see bellow:
$ nohup postmaster -i > pserver.log 2>&1 &
[1] 17192
$ ps -ef | grep
post
postgres 6006 529 0 10:22:05 pts/1 0:00 ksh
postgres 17225
6006 1 11:01:41 pts/1 0:00 grep post
[1] + Done
nohup postmaster -i > pserver.log 2>&1 &
$ cat
pserver.log
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001,

I have tried 3 times this installation and the result is the same. I
installed 6.5.2 in my house linux machine and work well.
Thank you for your attention
