[DGD] [Melville] not listening for connections

[John Ruiz]

All,

I'm running DGD1.2p3 on RH Fedora with the network, ansi, and comment
patches applied.  I'm using Melville 0.9.1 as the library.

I've compiled the driver with no problems.  I've run Dworkin's little mud
library (on port 6047) and connected to it with no problems.  Me: "Ok, the
driver is fine - let's close shop and try Melville."

I unpacked the Melville library, edited the DGD config file (using port 6047
which is now open) and started up the driver.  Melville apparently starts up
just as expected - I get the usual standard output in the terminal.  But
when I then try to connect to it, the connection is refused.  Weird.



So I go back to run Dworkin's mud again and then check out 'netstat -na'
which shows a listening server on 6047 - as expected.

I try this with Melville only to find that there is no listening server on
port 6047.  So my connection got refused because there was nothing to
connect to.  But why?  Why wouldn't Melville be able to establish itself on
6047 when there were no problems with Dworkin's lib doing so?

Note that I am connecting from the localhost in both instances, so it
shouldn't be a firewall issue,  but that's all I can think of it being.
I've been wracking my brain all night.

You all have any ideas?

Thanks!
John
