A while ago Kevin Murphy reported that PG built for 64 bit
archetecture cant start on a OSX:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-04/msg00788.php
The problem was eventually traced to a compatability problem with OSX:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-kernel/2007/Apr/msg00021.html
I just tried with the new PG 8.2.4 and i get the exact same fatal error.
Does any one know of a patch that will fix this problem?
Or maby I need to build the binarys with different compiler flags?

I am running on a Intel Xeon OSX system
I configured PG with
./configure --prefix=pgsql64 --without-readline CFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
and the error is:
> /usr/local/pgsql64/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql64/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"kasperf".
This user must also own the server process.

FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Cann
ot allocate memory
DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=1, size=1810432, 03600).
HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a
shared memory segment exceeded available memory or swa
p space. To reduce the request size (currently 1810432 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently
50) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 10).
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about
shared memory configuration.
