GS64 3.1.0.2 - startnetldi problem ...

We are in the process of moving from GS 2.x  to GS 3.1.0.2.

On my home linux server, I can do "startnetldi" no problem.
However on our office linux server I get

  == GEMSTONE_EXE_CONF=/extents/Gemdata4/CONF/system.conf
GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL=#dir:/home/cs/tmp/GEMLOGS startnetldi  -g -a gs gs64ldiALT
startnetldi[Info]: GemStone version '3.1.0.2'
startnetldi[Info]: Starting GemStone network server 'gs64ldiALT'.
startnetldi[Info]: GEMSTONE is: '/usr/local/Gemstone31'.
startnetldi[Info]: GEMSTONE_NRS_ALL is: '#dir:/home/cs/tmp/GEMLOGS'.
synthesizing  :: , listening on wildcard

SOCK_STREAM, 0) failed with errno=97,EAFNOSUPPORT, Address family not

Failed to listen on 0.0.0.0

which would seem to relate to the "-A" and maybe the "-P" flags on
startnetldi, both of which are new.
/etc/services has a correct entry for "gs64ldiALT"  (10378)

I tried various combinations of -A and -P values with pretty much the
same result.
I tried   -A 127.0.0.1  and   -A localhost
both resulted in the same errors as above but with the .0.0.0.0 replaced
by  .127.0.0.1

Anyone seen anything like this?

Dennis,

You should ensure that ipv6 networking is enabled in the linux kernel.

Gemstone 64bit v3.1.0.2 requires that ipv6 networking be enabled
in the Linux kernel.
Also ipv6 localhost ( ::1) must be allowed.  It is normally allowed
by default, I believe.

ipv4 addresses are expressed internally as v4-mapped-on-v6
addresses (see man 7 ipv6) , thus the need to have ipv6 support
in the kernel.
