Reading LINT will give you a little insight on what the various IPC tunables mean, and man shmget will tell you a little about this syscall. I basically searched google for the message as a few users have reported this in the past, and there haven't been any real good conclusions. What I found was related to SysV shared memory tuning. You may very well be running out of memory. When shmget returns ENOSPC, it means that the kernel was unable to allocate enough memory. How much memory does your machine have? How many applications are you trying to run at once?
