Yes, it's kind of Open Source. If I am not mistaken there is a version of
ixemul for BeOS too. A lot of Unix programs have been ported to Amiga and
BeOS with it, including PostgreSQL 6.1.

Well I tried that but it didn't work. But what exactlt could be causing
that cache access failed error? If I am not mistaken this is not the first
platform it appears on. What exactly does it mean? Maybe I messed with
something in the ported files, but I need more information to try to
determine what happened.
