Not sure -- doesn't get far enough for me to tell. initdb dies with: creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not implemented > In any case, unless someone actually writes an alternative sema > implementation that will work on BSD, nothing will happen... Was hoping that the discussions about the APR might let this work under BSD jails, assuming I can get the APR to compile. (For others: apparently PG will work under BSD jails if you recompile the BSD kernel w/some new settings, but my ISP for this project was unwilling to do that. Search the mailing list for messages on how to do this.)
