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

I was talking about this with someone a while back RE my
postgres/postgis binaries. It appears that Leopard doesn't use
/etc/rc any more (the usual way I've seen to configure sysctl, I
didn't know about sysctl.conf).
From our discussion, sysctl.conf turned out to be the way to go on
Leopard.

Hi All,
I've had this figured out on mac osx 10.4 without any trouble, but on
10.5 what is the/a proper way to setup shared memory for postgresql?
I'm goint to try creating an /etc/sysctl.conf, but figured I'd ask
first to see if there is some other route to this.

And, I've got libgeos2 building on 10.5 with fink, so that I can get
back to postgis development...
