Hi,

I've installed PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Solaris following the INSTALL file
that comes with the source.

When I do:

make runtest

it gives out the following error message in regress.out:

postmaster must already be running for the regression tests to succeed.
The time zone is set to PST8PDT for these tests by the client frontend.
Please report any apparent problems to ports@postgresql.org
See regress/README for more information.

Also, when I do:

make runcheck

the following message is in the postmaster.log

IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget failed (No space left on device)
key=65432015, num=16, permission=600
This type of error is usually caused by an improper
shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.

FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our

I don't know about this one.

Simplest solution: quit the other postmaster, then make runcheck. Otherwise
double your IPC settings - depending on the OS this might involve building
a new kernel.

 It's easy: 

$ export PGLIB=/path/to/postgresql/lib
$ make runtest


BTW.:

 Hackers, why this 'export' not handle regression test itself 
from $libdir that is already defined in Makefile.global? 

 Needs a patch? :-)

Do you have a PGLIB environment variable set?
You may need one so that createlang can find the procedural
language information.  It's probably /usr/local/pgsql/lib
if you didn't change the locations.

I thought this information was in the INSTALL, but it's not there any
more in any case.

Sounds like you don't have a large enough shared memory block
configured on the machine.  I don't know enough about solaris
to help here, but I believe people have posted shared memory
configurations on either -general or -hackers in the past.
You might be able to find more info in the archives.
