Re: OSX 10.3.7 broke Postgresql 8.0.0b5?

Ok, I got postgres to start...
I used these settings.

kern.sysv.shmmax: 167772160
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmni: 32
kern.sysv.shmseg: 8
kern.sysv.shmall: 65536
kern.sysv.semmni: 87381
kern.sysv.semmns: 87381
kern.sysv.semmnu: 87381
kern.sysv.semmsl: 87381
kern.sysv.semume: 10
