[maemo-users] Postgress on my N900

[From: Valeri Galtsev]

Wow!

This is a heavy weight one. I wouldn't dare to run it on pocked device...
But maybe I'm wrong.

My wild guess would be: you don't have enough RAM even to start it. To
check how much RAM it requires just to load into memory itself and its
arguments (and reserve space for data residing in RAM) you can run unix
command

size

(or its equivalent on maemo) on the binary. E.g., this is what I get for
postgresql on one of my servers:

size /usr/bin/postgres

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
2974897	  45216	 415136	3435249	 346af1	/usr/bin/postgres

which says that you need 3.44 MB just to start it successfully. You may
have to multiply that by the number of postgres processes (which I'm sure
is configurable) that you allowed to be started.

Let us know what you find out.

Good luck!

Valeri
