I'm having problems with The Gimp 0.54 and FreeBSD 2.1.5. They seem related to SysV Shared Memory. The Gimp will run for a while, but often dies with a message like: gimp fatal error: shmget failed! gimp: killing: 756: /usr/local/lib/gimp/plug-ins/tiff A note from the author of The Gimp makes me think that I've compiled my kernel wrong in some way. (Of course it couldn't be the AUTHOR's fault! ;) I have the following option set in my kernel configuration: options SYSVSHM Which I thought was adequate to enable shared memory. Is this true? Could it be I simply don't have enough RAM? (16 Megs) Thanks in advance, Jon Lido
