This means your system disables the system call that allows GDB to
attach to a running process.  Can you change the setting the error
message mentions above, or ask your sysadmins to change it for you, or
do something else to grant you the privilege of attaching a debugger
to a process?  If you can do that, please try this method again after
enabling that privilege.
