os x 上 postgresql 的 initdb 失败

Question

Having trouble installing postgres 10 on my Mac, version 10.12.5.

I've tried installing 2 ways:

(1) Downloading Postgres.app
(2) `brew install postgresql`

and tried to manually run a bunch of variations of these commands for initdb :

$ initdb /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/ver-10
$ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8

All yield the same error FATAL: could not create semaphores: Invalid argument .

Full trace:

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "foo".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

I'm not sure what FATAL: could not create semaphores: Invalid argument means. I've seen a lot of other answers related to insufficient space, but not this one.

Thanks in advance!

我必须删除通过 Brew 安装的 Postgres，然后重新安装 Postgres.app，然后重新启动计算机，然后打开应用程序并单击“初始化”修复它。
