This link looks like it has the answer. You need to make sure that /dev/shm is mounted on your system, and assign it memory of at least MEMORY_TARGET.

You can do this by adding the following to your fstab, and rebooting. (This will set the /dev/shm size to 2gb):

shmfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=2048m 0 0
