Hi DAIP,
I've been trying to work through the nice AIPS manager help
document: http://www.aips.nrao.edu/aipsmgr/index.html but I think I
might have exceeded its bounds. I'm running Mac Leopard with two
large monitors with 1920x1200 resolution. I was getting the "Shared
memory id failure: Invalid Argument" error until I changed sysctl to
read :
kern.sysv.shmmax=16855040
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=32
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.sysv.shmall=4096
Note that I had to round up from 3830*1100*4 to get a multiple of 4096
And now I get the following:
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the
START_AIPS: - system name , AIPS type

So... is this a problem with my graphics card? Or... what?
Thanks,
