What kernel version are you running, and what kernel version was
cdrecord compiled against? I ask because cdrecord/cdrtools is
one of the things that ends up closely tied to the kernel
version it's compiled against. For this reason, it's generally
best to compile cdrtools yourself.
FYI, the shmget() function is part of glibc, and I believe it
turns around and calls the kernel's sys_shmget() function. It's
part of the function suite used for managing shared memory.
"man shmget" might tell you more.
What is your exact version of cdrecord and xcdroast
(xcdroast-0.98 could be any one of thirteen "0.98alphaXX"
versions)? I tested cdrtools 1.10 with xcdroast-0.98alpha9,
both compiled against kernel 2.4.18.
