Apple's default for SHMMAX is definitely penurious, but it's not so small that PG shouldn't be able to start at all. What do you get from sysctl -a | grep shm ? If it shows shmmax as at least 4 million (as I expect), maybe there's something else already eating shmem --- try also sudo ipcs -a Also, which OSX release is this again? regards, tom lane
