Hi,
 I am trying to get a proper openDX installation on sgi (IRIX6.5).
Both with the binary distribution, and the source dist, I end up with the
same problem (SUN and DEC: almost no problems at all):
 Wen starting a dx-application eg. dx -image, the dxexec wont start
messaging something like: "connection to server failed; cannot attach
shared memory segment/failed on 2 of 2 needed segments.../cannot
initilaize DX library"

I tried to have the envvar  DXSHMEM set to 0,-1 and unset. 0 and unset
gives the above result, -1 ands it complains about it must be on (ie. not
-1).

However starting dx by "dx" without args (ie. dxworker I think), works
fine, and I can run whatever (I think) from there on. Neverthe less the
above problems indicate something to be wrong in the setup.

Any clue as to envvars to change or set?
