IPC = Inter Process Communication, this includes shared memory, semaphores,
and message passing. It's highly unlikely for your kernel to be missing IPC
support unless you compiled it yourself and explicitly removed that option

i.e. using "make menuconfig" on a 2.4.7 kernel:

	General Setup -> System V IPC

And the desciption:

	Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and system
	calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and exchange
	information. It is generally considered to be a good thing, and some
	programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if you want
	to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO,
	available from http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto ), you'll need
	to say Y here.
