Hi Eric (?),<br><br>I am having exactly the same problem as Geofranco Gentile (daip email, June 5,2008) : <br>I cannot get the aips TV working on 24-inch iMac running Leopard [10.5.3 in my case]. Everything<br>else, (msgsrv, teksrv, task, etc) works fine. The startup looks like:<br>
<br>[LOCALHOST:~] robert% aips tv=local<br>START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV<br>START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the Dell5200 <br>START_AIPS: - system name ETH_M5200, AIPS type PS<br>

<br>[LOCALHOST:~] robert% more /etc/sysctl.conf<br>kern.sysv.shmmax=16777212<br>kern.sysv.shmmin=1<br>kern.sysv.shmmni=32<br>kern.sysv.shmseg=8<br>kern.sysv.shmall=4096<br><br>but the output of sysctl kern.sysv command looks like:<br>
