Oh yes, agreed. I was fooled by the svr4 man page, which is not very
verbose about this ABI aspect ("The svr4 utility loads the SystemV
emulator module").

Mmmhh, these options are in my kernel.
(sysv*.ko don't exist in STABLE-4.8).

gimp dies even when i start it with no filename as target. It looks like
it dies when trying to load script-fu modules.
To answer more precisely to your question, i found the ipcs(1) command.
Apparently i do have access to shared memory on my kernel:
drakkar# ipcs -M
shminfo:
shmmax: 33554432 (max shared memory segment size)
shmmin: 1 (min shared memory segment size)
shmmni: 192 (max number of shared memory identifiers)
shmseg: 128 (max shared memory segments per process)
shmall: 8192 (max amount of shared memory in pages)
So i will try to rebuild gimp-devel from ports as suggested by Joe
Marcus Clarke.
Thanks still for your suggestions,
Xavier de Labouret
