Egbert's latest patch compiles and runs, but it isn't addressing my problem.
This is with
Red Hat 8.0
Linux 2.4.20-19.8
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
(I have the same problem with Red Hat 6.2).
The system is *not* configured with IPv6, and
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
fails with -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not supported by protocol).
This is not unexpected, but how are we supposed to carry on and try
PF_INET ?
Thus
xbiff -display inet/localhost:10
works (I'm connecting over ssh),
but
xbiff -display localhost:10
fails reporting
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/localhost:10
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10
and
xbiff -display tcp/localhost:10
reports
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/localhost:10
Error: Can't open display: tcp/localhost:10
Can we just declare that inet and inet6 both match tcp ?
