Continuing.
Init_socket: listen: Invalid argument

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb)

How did you run it? If the arg is "mudport=4000" it only needs to be a number.

Ran it in gdb with a breakpoint on line 420 in comm.c, it showed the function that went along with the error basicly.

It is odd, i can run it and have that error, run again and not have it and so on.. seems to be a random error... weird.

I did ../src/smaug aboud 7 times to get it to actually start, 6 of the times i got the error Init_socket: listen: Invalid argument

Try passing a specific port instead of the default:

../src/smaug 4567

nope, and even when it does load i can't connect.

Have you tried stock? It could be perhaps your server. I've never seen anything like this.

I don't see how this could have anything to do with it but I think it is my help.are. I installed it in a different location and it worked, i moved over system, player, god, and src and it worked.. then i moved over help.are for the greeting screen and such and it did not.

Has anyone figured this out, because i'm having the same problem. I've tried searching everywhere to resolve this, with no luck. Thanks!

What happens when you try running the exec?

When I run startup, it doesn't show anything, but typing jobs shows that it is running. When I run smuag, it starts to load up everything, till it gets to initializing sockets. Then it says Init_socket: listen: Invalid argument

Are you using stock Smaug?

I've tried many everything i could think of, including reinstalling cygwin and the mud (smaug18fuss_lua_v1). I've even tried running a different version and get the same thing. I'm kind of new to this, but from what I can figure, it seems maybe the network isn't configed right or something? I've messed around with that, but still get the same thing.

Yeah I'd have to say it's a problem due to that or something. Try Googling for listen: Invalid argument and see if anything there helps.

See if you can print off the argument as well (for listen).

memset( &sa, '\0', sizeof( sa ) );
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_port = htons( mudport );

if( bind( fd, ( struct sockaddr * )&sa, sizeof( sa ) ) == -1 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: bind" );
close( fd );
exit( 1 );
}

if( listen( fd, 50 ) < 0 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: listen" );
close( fd );
exit( 1 );
}

return fd;
}
This is where it stops comm.c lines 598-617. The only thing that I could find on google for invalid argument to listen, is that there is no fuction for listen. I have included all the needed librarys that I know of. If this is a network configuration problem, any suggestions on what I should do?

What port are you trying to use? If it's below 1024 you might run into trouble since those are system ports.
