[GemStone-Smalltalk] Gemstone/s not starting on Solaris 10

[James Foster]

It is possible that the stone (running as gemadmin) is unable to attach to memory owned by the shrpcmonitor (running as root). Is there a reason why you ran the install as root? Do you plan to run RPC gems as different OS users? I know that some places run that way but many others let all the GS processes run as one OS user (gemadmin) and use different database users. Do you have this configuration running on other machines?

At this point I’m mostly guessing. As Bill mentioned, version 5.1.5.1 was released in 2000. Do (did) you have a support contract? Can you upgrade the database?
