Please Help,

I just installed postgres on a sparcstation. The installation itself worked
without problems.
Then I created a user with permission to create a new database.

The problem:
I can create a new database as super-user postgres.
When I try the same thing as the created user, I get following message -

--------------------------
 command% createdb foo
 Creating database 'foo' . . .

 E_DU3190_BAD_LKINIT
   Couldn't initialize the locking system for this process.
        Status returned was,   0x00000001.
        Please insure that the process is properly installed and that
             you have sufficient privilege and system resources to invoke it.
 Creation of database 'foo' abnormally terminated.
--------------------------

what is wrong?
where can I find explanations about error messages like 'E_DU3190_BAD_LKINIT' ?
where can I find infos about the locking system?

Any note would be great.

regards, Ingo
