I've been fighting with getting AIPS to display the TV server on my iMac. I've installed 31DEC13, done the changes to the /etc/services file, even updated the sysctl.conf file, but am still not getting the TV server up. My error message is:
XAS: *** Using shared memory option for speed ***
XAS: Using screen width 2550 height 1318,
         max grey level 8191 in 16 grey-scale memories
Shared memory id failure: cannot allocate memory

and my sysctl.conf output is:
bash-3.2$ sysctl kern.sysv
kern.sysv.shmmax: 33554432
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmni: 256
kern.sysv.shmseg: 64

and so on.

This is OS X 10.8.5. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neal
