Help me if you can *PLEASE*
I am trying to install INGRES 6.2 on a microVAX II running ULTRIX 3.1
Although the only instructions I have are from a manual for a SUN machine,
the procedure seems pretty straight forward.
The place that I am falling over is when INGRES tries to install shared
memory and semaphores. The error message indicates that it was unable to
allocate the 204,800 byte for the lock segment.
At the suggestion of INGRES (Australia) I have made the following changes
to the system configuration file:
smmax 2048
smseg 16
smsmat 32
I also changed the following line in /usr/include/sys/sem.h
#define SEMMNS 120
After rebuilding the kernal, moving it to / and rebooting, and re-running
iibuild, the same error occured. Due to various complications along the
way, I have been trying to get this going for over 3 weeks now, and we are
desperate to get it up.
If anyone has been through this and can give me the solution I would be
ecstatic, but any suggestions to help me on to the right track would be
most welcome. Also if anyone could suggest how I can test what shared
memory/semaphore resources are available to INGRES, I may be able to
narrow down the problem.
A timely response will resurrect me from a quivering heap of dejected
despondency to my normal state of (in?)competence. Thank you in advance.
