problem installing GAMESS (US) on SPARC workstation



 Good day CCLers!
 I am currently trying to install GAMESS on one of my group's workstations.
 
The previous computer administrator compiled the source code, I am left with the job of acutally making it function. If this list is not appropriate to the discussion of this type of problem, can anyone point me to someone who could help?
 
I have modified the rungms script, to ensure that all environement variables are correctly set etc.
 
I had a problem with lack of semaphores, upon reading the ddi documentation I learnt that the problem was that SPARCs are set with too low number of sempahore, I corrected this by adding the recomended lines to /etc/system.
 
I will first give some information on the system which I hope is relevant, then give a print out of the input and of the output. I hope there is someone out there who has installed the program on similar systems, has had similar problems and will be able to tell me what's wrong!
 running these commands:
 /usr/sbin/sysdef -i | grep SHMMAX
 /usr/sbin/sysdef -i | grep SEM
 I receive the following answers now:
 128        semaphore identifiers (SEMMNI)
 128  semaphores in system (SEMMNS)
  30  undo structures in system (SEMMNU)
 25  max semaphores per id (SEMMSL)
  10  max operations per semop call (SEMOPM)
  10  max undo entries per process (SEMUME)
 32767  semaphore maximum value (SEMVMX)
 16384  adjust on exit max value (SEMAEM)
 and:
 *
 * IPC Shared Memory
 *
 536870912      max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
     1  min shared memory segment size (SHMMIN)
   100  shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
     6  max attached shm segments per process (SHMSEG)
 
If I look at the active semaphores, by running ipcs -i and see the following information:
 IPC status from <running system> as of Thu Jul  7 14:57:43 bst 2005
 T         ID      KEY        MODE        OWNER    GROUP
 Semaphores:
 s          1   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          2   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          3   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          4   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          5   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          6   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          7   0          --ra-------     root    other
 s          8   0          --ra-------     root    other
 The system type is:
 
SunOS exss-blade1.sc.ic.ac.uk 5.8 Generic_117350-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
 
The input I am trying to run is exam01.inp from the tests suite. I paste the input/output at the end of this mail
 Once again I receive the same error message
 ... DONE SETTING UP THE RUN ..... DDI Process 0: semget return an error.
 
semget errno=ENOSPC -- check system limit for sysv semaphores. A fatal error occurr on DDI Process 0.
 ddikick.x: application process 0 quit unexpectedly.
 ddikick.x: Fatal error detected.
 Does anyone know what this is about?
 Thanks very much for your help
