Installing PostgreSQL6.4.2.: createdb and ipc/semctl-bug(?)

Hi all,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 6.4.2., and all went well -including
initdb- until I typed createdb. This resulted in a known error concerning
ipc/semctl. Although this problem has been posted earlier to the lists, I
haven't seen an answer yet.

Maybe someone has found a solution?

Thanks,

Jelle.

MY SYSTEM
---------

MY SOFTWARE

INSTALL ACTIONS
---------------
.0. changed makefiles:
- added in src/Makefile.shlib (as read in a mailinglist/newsgroup)

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), irix5)
install-shlib-dep := install-shlib
shlib :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
LDFLAGS_SL := -shared
CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_SL)
endif

- commented out in src/interfaces/Makefile:
ecpg and odbc, cause it didn't work earlier and I don't need it
