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. Creating Postgres database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data Creating Postgres database system directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base Creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1 Creating global classes in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base Adding template1 database to pg_database... Vacuuming template1 Creating public pg_user view Creating view pg_rules Creating view pg_views Creating view pg_tables Creating view pg_indexes Loading pg_description $ 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, size=1073152, permission=600 FATAL 1: ShmemCreate: cannot create region $ 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 Roberto
