Shared memory in SunOS

[Wilson SHEK]

I am having some trouble with the system call shmget(). When I tried to
get a new segment of memory for sharing, the function was called as shmid
= shmget(IPC_PRIVATE,1024,0666). Shmid got a returned value of -1 and the
error was invalid argument. What have I done wrong?

Since shared memory is a System V feature, do I have to set anything
special in the normal cc command? I am using SunOS 4.0_Export on a SUN
3/50.  Any help would be appreciated.
