Hi,
I successfully compiled postgresql. For compilation, only a very
small change is required (not using NOFILE).
However, postgresql requires both shared memory and semaphores from
SYSV IPC. I just thought I'd mention it as an example for a widely
used application requiring those. It is possible to put emulations
of these features in the postgresql code (however, I don't know if
this has any benefit over implementing them directly).
I will report my small fix and upload any compiled packages,
so if we ever get semaphores (and shared memory), postgresql
will magically start to work.
Thanks,
Marcus
