Re: [Evolution] Why IMLIB ERROR: SHM can't get SHM Identifier...?

[Michael Rothwell <rothwell holly-springs nc us>]

I don't know if someone's already posted this or not, but this is athe
solution for pre-1.2.9 GTKs:

In /usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h, change

#define _SHM_ID_BITS    7
to
#define _SHM_ID_BITS    10

and recompile your kernel. This increases the number of available SHM
segments from 128 to 1024.
