Hi All I'm looking for some help with regards a postgres 64-bit install I set up on a IBM AIX machine.
I used the following install options whien I installed postgres BINDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/bin DOCDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/doc INCLUDEDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/include PKGINCLUDEDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/include INCLUDEDIR-SERVER = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/include/server LIBDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/lib PKGLIBDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/lib LOCALEDIR = MANDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/man SHAREDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/share SYSCONFDIR = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/etc PGXS = /usr/local/pgsql837-64/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk CONFIGURE = '--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql837-64' '--with-pgport=5422' '--enable-thr ead-safety' '--enable-integer-datetimes' 'CC=gcc -maix64' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc' CC = gcc -maix64 CPPFLAGS = CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-a fter-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv CFLAGS_SL = LDFLAGS = -Wl,-bbigtoc -Wl,-blibpath:/usr/local/pgsql837-64/lib:/usr/lib:/lib LDFLAGS_SL = -Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-bM:SRE LIBS = -lpgport -lz -lreadline -lld -lm VERSION = PostgreSQL 8.3.7 And the spec of the AIX machine is a follows. AIX 5.3 2x Power 5 CPU's 6GB RAM If I run postgres with the standard postgresql.conf install then all queries run (albiet sometimes slower than i'd expect). However if I start to change some of the memory settings for example shared_buffers, temp_buffers, work_mem, maintenance_workmem above 128-256MB and run a large query or create a large indexes i get the error below Out of Memory Failed on request of size 167873 (this value will change) Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks Fran ___________________________________________________ This email is intended for the named recipient.
