Hi Eric (?),
I am having exactly the same problem as Geofranco Gentile (daip email, June
5,2008) :
I cannot get the aips TV working on 24-inch iMac running Leopard [10.5.3 in
my case]. Everything
else, (msgsrv, teksrv, task, etc) works fine. The startup looks like:
[LOCALHOST:~] robert% aips tv=local
START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the Dell5200
START_AIPS: - system name ETH_M5200, AIPS type PS
START_AIPS: User data area assignments:
(Using global default file /Volumes/FW160/aips/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for
DADEVS.PL)
Disk 1 (1) is /Volumes/FW160/aips/DATA/LOCALHOST_1
Tape assignments:
Tape 1 is REMOTE
Tape 2 is REMOTE
START_AIPS: Starting TV servers on localhost asynchronously
START_AIPS: - WITH Unix Sockets as requested...
START_AIPS: Starting TPMON daemons on LOCALHOST asynchronously...
Starting up 31DEC08 AIPS with normal priority

AIPS 1: You are not on a local TV device, welcome stranger
AIPS 1: You are assigned TV device/server 2
AIPS 1: You are assigned graphics device/server 2
UNIXSERVERS: TVSRV1 is already running on host localhost, user robert
UNIXSERVERS: Start XAS1 on localhost, DISPLAY /tmp/launch-113JAi/:0
XAS: ** TrueColor FOUND!!!

/tmp/launch-113JAi/:0
UNIXSERVERS: Start message server MSSRV1 on localhost, display

AIPS 1: Enter user ID number
?
I added a /etc/sysctl.conf file as instructed in the AIPS notes, then
rebooted. The file looks like this:
[LOCALHOST:~] robert% more /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.sysv.shmmax=16777212
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=32
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.sysv.shmall=4096
but the output of sysctl kern.sysv command looks like:
[LOCALHOST:~] robert% sysctl kern.sysv
kern.sysv.shmall: 4096
kern.sysv.shmseg: 8
kern.sysv.shmmni: 32
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmax: 4194304
kern.sysv.semume: 10
kern.sysv.semmsl: 87381
kern.sysv.semmnu: 87381
kern.sysv.semmns: 87381
kern.sysv.semmni: 87381
kern.sysv: No such file or directory
i.e., It appears that the .conf file (after reboot) does not take the
16777212 value for shmmax.
Any insight on this?
