postgresql initdb failure

[Miha Radej]

hi!

firstly, i'd like to apologize if i'm looking for help in the wrong 
place, but i have a problem to which i cannot seem to find a solution.

i have the following version: DragonFly 1.1-CURRENT. i need to install 
postgresql 7.3. i installed it from the ports tree, there were no 
errors. but upon running initdb, i get this error:

. .. [creating directories goes through ok]...
Creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... 
IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not 
implemented

initdb failed.

i thought this might be a semaphore problem, since i got a similar 
problem in freebsd, where i put
kern.ipc.semmni=80
kern.ipc.semmns=480
kern.ipc.semmnu=240
in my /boot/loader.conf and it works. i tried this here also. is it a 
big mistake? the system booted without problems. however, i still get 
the same problem. is there anything else i need to be aware of or that i 
need to change in order to be able to run initdb?

thank you for your replies.

regards,
Miha
