No. Read http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-shared-memory.html again. It says exactly what you need to do to get XSI shared memory running. The *note* is for 1.5 only. Corinna (*) Btw., named POSIX shared mem support is available since 1.7. It's a pity that MIT-SHM extension uses XSI, rather than POSIX shared memory, since you don't need cygserver for the POSIX implementation. -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
