I never have seen this? Maybe the permssions on the 'ipcs' executable
are wrong. When I bought my 3b1 the "ipc's" weren't being loaded upon
bootting. Try '/etc/lddrv/lddrv -s' , I think this shows the drivers
that are loaded - I don't think this is your problem though :).

I got it to compile and run. I set the max player limit to 3 mainly
because I'll never have more than 3 users on my system anyway. I
haven't tried playing with two players yet. I did notice that one
player was SLOW. I was thinking of slowing down the "clock daemon".
Let me know what happens.
