Can you tell me please where i can get the shm filesystem? Or can you affirm that System V IPC is working with the old /proc/sysvipc correct on my system?

if you read the Documentation/Changes (of a recent kernel, at least ac17
or later) you will see that it explains that you do NOT need to mount shm
fs anywhere to use System V ipc. You only need it if you want to use POSIX
shm. Besides, the recommended place is /dev/shm (you do have /dev
right?) and not /var/shm but that is a matter of taste and not a standard.
