Yeah, I've tried and have the same error too. I don't know the problem but I fixed it by downloading the Hurd from sources and compiling the lwip translator myself. There must have been some problem while compiling the translator in the release. Try this: apt-get install liblwip-dev build-essential fakeroot git apt-get build-dep hurd git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/hurd.git cd hurd autoreconf -i cd .. mkdir hurd-build cd hurd-build ../hurd/configure --disable-profile make lwip cd lwip settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 ./lwip and your parameters Good luck, this is a "bit" more complicated :)
