I'm trying to start aips for the first time on my new MacBook,  
running 10.4.10.  I have read the aips managers faq, and I've  
adjusted /etc/rc to correspond with what I see there.  However, I'm  
still getting the shared memory id failure.

Here's what I see on the terminal:

---
[jcrossle at lepus: aips_work]$ aips
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the
START_AIPS:  - system name , AIPS type
START_AIPS: User data area assignments:

And here's what's in my /etc/rc:

---
sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216 kern.sysv.shmmin=1  
kern.sysv.shmmni=32 kern
.sysv.shmseg=8 kern.sysv.shmall=4096
---

I've also tried setting 'export DISPLAY=localhost:0'.

Any ideas what the problem is?
