David Kelly provided me with excellent instructions on installing Postgres. I was able to follow them and install tk/tcl and postgresql-6.4.2. However, when I tried the following > % createuser jfreeze instead of > Enter user's postgres ID or RETURN to use unix user ID: 928 -> > Is user "jfreeze" allowed to create databases (y/n) y > Is user "jfreeze" allowed to add users? (y/n) y > createuser: jfreeze was successfully added I got a message that the backend quit , and some stuff about SYSVSEM or something. Then I remembered an email I had received earlier from Thomas Good. Thomas Good wrote: > Once you build PG you need to enable the trio of sys v functions > in the kernel src (SYSVSHM, SYSVMSG and SYSVSEM) > and the do a kernel rebuild. After that it works fine. Whoa there Nelly. Can someone please translate that for me. Exactly how is this to be done. I sure hope that I can do all that. Do I need kernel sources? I don't know if I installed the user or the developer model. (That was a lot of questions :-) ) As a newby, rebuilding the kernel for the first time is somewhat frightning. Any help is appreciated.
