Re: problem running zmc

The problem is the shared memory. At 640x480, greyscale, each frame needs 300KB of memory. For 100 frames (the default buffer size) you'd need almost 30MB of memory. That's too much shared memory to allocate. This is discussed in the Troubleshooting section of the README. You can find out how much ...
