When I recently tried to install it on our new Sun Sparc (SunOS merlin 4.1.3 6 sun4m) I had the following problems : I applied the patches, set up the user all as per the installation notes. Did the newbki, but when it came to doing initdb postgres just sat there and did very little. It created the base dir and the template dir ... but it did not create any tables in the template nor did it create any tables in the data dir. It does not terminate either .. it just sits there. This is the ipcs dump : IPC status from merlin as of Sun Nov 21 11:37:29 1993 T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP Message Queues: Shared Memory: m 500 0x075dc272 --rw------- postgres student m 101 0x075dc269 --rw------- postgres student m 102 0x075dc26f --rw------- postgres student Semaphores: as can be seen no Semaphores are found, this does not look correct. Since I am not a Sun wizard, I would appreciate any information you can give as to what the problem might be and if anyone else has indicated problems with SunOS 4.1.3 Thankyou in advance, Glen Darby. -- -------------------------------------------------------- | University Of Western Sydney | | Postgres Database Aministration | | | | Administrator : Glen Darby | | | | | | Return Mail : postgres@st.nepean.uws.edu.au | ========================================================
