[postgis-users] shared memory on mac osx 10.5

[Kurt Schwehr]

Thanks William and Ries!  I'm working on a blog post that goes through 
the whole process (for my specific case) and I will have it up in a few 
hours at http://schwehr.org/blog .  I've got postgresql working wihtout 
a warning using this /etc/sysctl.conf file:

 cat /etc/sysctl.conf
# These values are to support postgresql
# See also: 
http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Shared_Memory_Regions_on_Darwin
# See also: man sysctl.conf
kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=64
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.sysv.shmall=32768
