     I am trying to install aips on  a MAC system:iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch,

Following the instructions online(http://www.aips.nrao.
edu/aipsmgr/index.html) ,   I have created an /etc/sysctl.conf file and put
the values in it

       kern.sysv.shmmax=10485760
            kern.sysv.shmmin=1
            kern.sysv.shmmni=32
            kern.sysv.shmseg=8
            kern.sysv.shmall=4096

also tried to change  10485760 to 16777216

but it did not work,  can you help me fix this problem please, thank
you very much!!

Regards,

Zhongzu
