Re: [BUGS] RC2 will not make check on OSX 10.3

[John Griffiths]

I am certainly not an expert in OSX, but many Unix variants have to have the changes made in the conf directories; then the kernel has to be rebuilt AND the environment rebuilt. It is not a one step process on all Unix variants. I don't know for sure, but rebuilding the environment after making the changes to the files in the conf directories may rebuild the rc files.

I don't think a change like this would survive a system update..... But it was the only way I got the settings to 'take'. It deserves to be mentioned in the docs that this is necessary at least as far as 10.3.1 (osx).

Should we update the documentation's advice? At present, it suggests: MacOS X Edit the file /System/Library/StartupItems/SystemTuning/SystemTuning and change the following values: sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmin sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmni sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmseg sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall (Without a Mac OSX box, I have no idea which is correct.) -Neil __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
