Right I have 8.1.X working properly. but when I run make check I get I compile 8.3.6 but when I do a make check I get Running in noclean mode. Mistakes will not be cleaned up.

FATAL: could not create semaphores: No space left on device DETAIL: Failed system call was semget(1, 17, 03600). HINT: This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space. It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exceeded. You need to raise the respective kernel parameter. Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections parameter (currently 13). The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about configuring your system for PostgreSQL. child process exited with exit code 1 initdb: data directory "/usr/source/postgresql-8.3.6/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data" not removed at user's request What is not happening? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@xxxxxxxxxx Ici doctor@xxxxxxxxxx God, Queen and country!
