[daip] Shared memory id failure: Invalid argument on mac osx 10.6 w 64bit mode

[Shinnaga Hiroko]

Dear Eric Greisen, 

  Thank you so much for your prompt kind response to my question. 

  I rebooted the computer and now I got TV!  Thank you very much.  

  I'm migrating from old to new computer, and I set my Disk 1/2/3 on 
the new computer be the one that I created using my old computer.  
I was expecting to see quite a few files under those disks, however 
I found no data there.  I copied the directories from old one to the new 
one.  Is that what we should expect?  If I say pcat, on those disks that 
I should have some files on, it says 

>pca
AIPS 1: Catalog on disk  1
AIPS 1:  Cat Usid Mapname      Class   Seq  Pt     Last access      Stat
AIPS 1: ZFIO: OPER = READ LUN = 15 NREC =        6
AIPS 1: ZFI2: REQUEST FOR BYTES 5121 THRU = 6144 BEYOND EOF = 5120
AIPS 1: ZERROR: IN ZFI2   ERRNO = 22 (Invalid argument)

On the other hand, if I do pcat on the disk that are newly created, it says 
>pca
AIPS 1: Catalog on disk  5
AIPS 1:    Cat Usid Mapname      Class   Seq  Pt    Last access     Stat
>

Maybe I cannot use the disk that some files are saved created using 
AIPS on other computer?  

Also, if I say "task fitld", it gives me following.  

>tget fitld
AIPS 1: ZOPEN: FILE DA01:TGD0B4000.7VS;      NOT FOUND
AIPS 1: YOU SEEM TO HAVE NO FILES OF TYPE TG VERSION  0 OPEN ERR      2


Please note that I setenv-ed MYAREA at some directory before starting AIPS.  

Could you guide me how to assess these problems?  

Hope to hear from you soon.  Thanks very much.  

Hiroko

I read your web at http://www.aips.nrao.edu/aipsmgr/index.html to try to treat this, but still doesn't work.  What I did was 1. I created the file /etc/system and copy/pasted the following    lines.  set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=8388608

After I created the above two files, if I start aips, it still says "Shared memory id failure: Invalid argument".  How can I treat this problem?  Please note that I did " setenv DISPLAY localhost:0" before starting aips.  Also, I added following lines sssin           5000/tcp        SSSIN      # AIPS TV server
