Hi! Sorry if this is a RTFM question (I've read "Guide to System Configuration File Maintenance" without success :-( ). Any pointers to TFM's would be fine. Problem: I'm trying to install Ingres 6.2/02u (vax.ulx/01) on a VAXstation 3200, running Ultrix-32 V3.1 (Rev. 9) and UWS V2.1. Physical memory 16MB and probably about 24MB of swap-space. I've configured the kernel as described in the Ingres installation manual: smbrk 30720 (Isn't this incredibly high? Default value is 64) smmax 2048 (Default 256) smseg 16 (Default 6) When running iibuild, I get the error message below: !shmat for id 0 at address -1 fails !errno = 0 Could not create the system segment, does your kernel have enough shared memory or has this program already been run? (This message is really from csinstall I think). I've also played around with the different configuration parameters, but nothing seems to help so far. Any suggestions of what is wrong (what I've done wrong), and even better how to fix is would be nice. Please respond by mail, and I'll send a summary to the list if neccessary.
