Hi,

we recompiled and built an RPM on IA64, release of postgresql : 8.1.1,
on RHEL4 update 2,
the installation of the rpm seem to be good,
we install with --nodeps , and we indicate the path for the library's
/opt/intel_cc_80/lib
but when trying to init with the user account "pg_811",
it fall in panic,
our too ...........we don't know what could be wrong,
is there a link with shared memory of our system ?
thanks for help
