Hi all,
I noticed that kernel 2.6 is a requirement for shmem on linux. Is it possible to get shmem to run - maybe with constraints - together with kernel 2.4 and the older pthread version (linuxthreads)? A start on a kernel 2.4 box produces a segmentation fault in shared_memory.hpp. To reach most users as possible, it would be nice to be compatible or if not possible to get as a minimum a normal termination.

Sorry, 2.4 has no process-shared primitives, and it's not a priority to emulate them. If anyone wants to contribute them, they are welcome ;-) I agree that process-crash is not an correct result, but could you investigate what's happening? Maybe an exception is being thrown when constructing a process shared mutex and that should be a correct error report, IMHO. Regards, Ion
