hi,
my ifconfig has this info:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
there's no "inet addr" just "inet6 addr" - maybe that's causing some problem.
my version # is "0.38.0+amidi-1" (ubuntu package).
also at the top of /etc/hosts it says: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost tudor
does that help?
thanks for your help jake

Maybe your loopback is not installed?
Does /etc/hosts say:
127.0.0.1 localhost
anywhere?
does ifconfig print something like:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1017 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1017 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:64420 (62.9 Kb) TX bytes:64420 (62.9 Kb)
I had to do something funny on some distro at some point because the loopback was non-existant in the default installation, strange I know..
I'm not on my debian machine there should be something in /etc/ like "networks" or "network/interfaces" that says something like:
loopback 127.0.0.0
clearly it will not work without loopback....

Oboy... I just looked in s_inter.c and saw that, in linux, the IP address is hardwired to 127.0.0.1. So -- just a guess -- maybe the C compiler hasn't defined __linux__ for some reason. That would break a number of other things (in fact I'd be surprised Pd compiled at all in that case...)
I doubt that this is the reason as it seems to work when not connected to the internet, right ? And, if the host is not found pd would print something like: "localhost not found (inet protocol not installed?)"
So, my guess is that gethostbyname on ubuntu somehow fails to set 127.0.0.1 and sets it to 0.0.0.0 as Ico observed... would be really weird though.
What version of pd are you using ?
Strange ...

i'm having the same issue as ico, i think. i cannot start pd if i am connected to the internet. i'm using ubuntu.
i don't see anything odd in my /etc/hosts file (not that i really understand what to look for). i put it up at http://osoe.net/hosts if that can be any help. ico, where is it in network-admin that you can see how the ports are configured?
i'm totally new to networkStuff.
hope someone has some insight!
thanks in advance, jake
