Wow! This is a heavy weight one. I wouldn't dare to run it on pocked device... But maybe I'm wrong. My wild guess would be: you don't have enough RAM even to start it. To check how much RAM it requires just to load into memory itself and its arguments (and reserve space for data residing in RAM) you can run unix command size (or its equivalent on maemo) on the binary. E.g., this is what I get for postgresql on one of my servers: size /usr/bin/postgres text data bss dec hex filename 2974897 45216 415136 3435249 346af1 /usr/bin/postgres which says that you need 3.44 MB just to start it successfully. You may have to multiply that by the number of postgres processes (which I'm sure is configurable) that you allowed to be started. Let us know what you find out. Good luck!
