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!
