Hi Chuck,

I belive that you need to use sysctl to increase the default number of
SysV shared segments and/or their maximum size.

You might try 

  $ ipcs -l

to check the current limits.

Does it pass "make check" ?

It's been a while since I checked, but gnuradio-core has compiled on
Solaris in the past.
