Re: [opendx-users] cannot attach shared memory segment

[Betsy Foote]

I was just able to run version 3.1.4 of dx with the same arguments as 
below, on the same machine, and was able to start up dx successfully. 
So there appears to be some difference between 3.1.4 and 4.1 for this 
case. Any ideas?

Betsy

I'm running OpenDX on an 8 processor Compaq AlphaServer with 8GB of
shared memory. When I start up dx with:

        dx -memory 400 -program junk.net

I get the following error message.

Connection to server east failed:
Starting DX executive
Error during Initialization
cannot attach shared memory segment/failed on segment 65 of 100 needed
segments/last call to shmat returned errno=24
cannot initialize DX library

Although I cannot try it out anymore, I believe this used to work with
version 3.1.4.

Any ideas as to what is going on and how to be able to use 400M of
memory?

Thanks,

Betsy
