Dear Bug Team!
Summary: I am unable to use open-network-stream to connect to
localhost on this Linux box. I keep getting errors that look like
this:
"localhost/`~^H& Servname not supported for ai_socktype"
I originally encountered this trying to use the Allegro Common Lisp
emacs interface. I discussed the matter with them, and we narrowed it
down to an xemacs problem, and a new one to me, since I have been
using their interface for several years on Xemacs.
I was able to replicate the error in a minimal way using netcat.
First, I set up a listening port:
nc -l 12000
then I do
(setq foo (open-network-stream "fooproc" nil "localhost" 12000))
and I get the error.
I have checked, and I am able to connect to the listening port, and
send data, using netcat. this suggests to me that this is not just
some dumb firewall problem.
I was able to replicate this error both with the xemacs distributed by
Mandrake with my distro, and with an xemacs that I built myself there,
so I don't believe that it's just Mandrake (Mandriva) not packaging it
correctly, either. But it could be a problem with some library
installed with this distro.
I did what I could to track this down myself, but I'm afraid I got
lost in the C...
Thanks,
R
