Installing PostgreSQL6.4.2.: createdb and ipc/semctl-bug(?)

Hi all,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 6.4.2., and all went well -including
initdb- until I typed createdb. This resulted in a known error concerning
ipc/semctl. Although this problem has been posted earlier to the lists, I
haven't seen an answer yet.

Maybe someone has found a solution?

Thanks,

Jelle.

INSTALL ACTIONS
---------------
.0. changed makefiles:
- added in src/Makefile.shlib (as read in a mailinglist/newsgroup)

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), irix5)
  install-shlib-dep    := install-shlib
  shlib                :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
  LDFLAGS_SL        := -shared
  CFLAGS            += $(CFLAGS_SL)
endif

- commented out in src/interfaces/Makefile:
ecpg and odbc, cause it didn't work earlier and I don't need it

.1.    cofigured:
- configure \
    --with-prefix=/disk3/usr/local/pgsql \
    --with-CC=gcc \
    --with-CXX=g++ \
    --with-pgport=5432

.2.    made:
-    make-options in Makefile.custom:
    CFLAGS=-g -O2
    COPT=-mabi=n32 ­mips3
    LD=ld ­n32
    MK_NO_LORDER=1

.3. installed

.4. initdb

.5. started postmaster
-    after starting up postmaster: postmaster -i &
    ps -ef | grep 'pgs*'
 ..
    pgsql  5338  5069  0 11:38:11 pts/0   0:00
/disk3/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i

.6. createdb
-    after starting createdb:
    error:    IpcSemaphoreCreate: semctl failed (Bad address) id=1

    ps -ef | grep 'pgs*'
    pgsql  5345  5343  0 11:39:45 pts/0   0:00 psql -tq -c create database
