You're running it from inetd, right? Check the troubleshooting
section of the INSTALL file, especially where it suggests copying the
path to the executable from the inetd line and doing an 'ls -l' on it
at a command prompt. If the executable path isn't correct, inetd
can't launch it. Also verify that the inetd line is correct in other
respects (again, see the INSTALL file) and that you've sent a HUP
signal to inetd.
