Shared Memory...

Hi
I don't know if this board is appropriate, if it isn't, sorry.

I am trying to build a server in c++ within a linux box, and I need to use shared memory, because it will talk to another software.
But I can't seem to do it... I can use the shared memory with static arrays and stuff like that, but I need to allocate and dealocate the memory within the shared object
then i found this libmm and it appears that even php and apache use this library
but guess what? I don't know how to use it
i can MM_malloc stuff, but how do I access the shared mm within another proccess?
so, please
please help me out with this
google wasn't nice with this subject

and again, sorry if it is wrongh place

thanks
Joe
