Hi Lysanias,

LDM did compile but since then I have not been able to resolve the error
> below.  What does it mean; never seen this one before:

The above messages mean that the LDM server couldn't obtain it's well-known
port number, 388. This is most-likely because another process (e.g.,
another LDM server) has that port number.

You can discover what process has that port number via the netstat(1)
utility:

$ sudo netstat --listening --tcp --inet --program --numeric | grep 388
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:388                 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      382059/ldmd
$

The above shows the LDM running in process 382059 and listening on port 388.

You now need to ask yourself *why* another LDM is running.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
LDM developer
