===================================

I've given /bin/bash to postgresql and no luck.

Some guy told me you might not have enough disk space and i've got 475MB space on disk.

Thanx,

postgresql-7.3.2.ebuild works.

Works fine on me.

But I DID have same problem few months ago when my system has been built using pretty risky CFLAGS. After I reinstalled the whole box (I know, I could just re-emerge everything) with much more conservative CFLAGS the problem has been disappeared.

I've exactly the same Problem. It does NOT work for me! I use version 7.3.2. My cflags are: -O2 -pentium3 -pipe -so this couldn't be the problem.

i've found the problem!
If you don't have "SYSTEM V IPC" (in generel setup) compiled in your kernel this error appears...
