System Configuration

Operating System : Solaris 2.6 HW 5/98 Desktop

PostgreSQL version : 6.5

Compiler used : egcs-1.1.1

Hardware:
---------
Ooops, forgot to add this last time, so am repeating.
I'm on a Sun Sparc Classic, uname -a gives:
SunOS altair 5.6 Generic_105181-12 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCclassic

Versions of other tools:
------------------------
gnmake3.77
flex2.5.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
postmaster -i reports:
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001, size=1073152, permission=600
FATAL 1: ShmemCreate: cannot create region

It might be of interest to note that flex reported errors in building
pl_parse.o , but the whole make came back with 'All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------
Just compile the program and install as per instructions, then initdb and try postmaster -i

Solution:
