I'm getting this warning:
Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed!
I get this warning when I try and use 'up2date' to update my RH 6.1
system, though the Helix update tool has no problems. As far as I can
tell, my system is updated to the latest and greatest. I did upgrades,
using Helix and manually, 2 nights ago.
I just downloaded and installed rCalc, and when I tried to run it, I got:
Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed!
shmget: No space left on device
What device?! God, I hate warnings like this... why doesn't it say which
device, obviously it knows which device. I had no problem running
programs before and after this error.
'strace rcalc' shows:

I have tons of available memory and hd space, so I don't know what the
problem is. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.
