I ran into this problem recently enough! You have apparently forgotten to configure your shared memory
parameters on your kernel properly. The parameters you need to set are (from my /etc/system file):

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=70

Place these in your /etc/system file (please remember to back up your original!) and reboot your machine.
Then try to recreate your database objects. It all should work fine now.

Good luck!
