Hi All, I have a very strange problem running MapiClient on a RedHat system at the UVA which is not a bug I think. Problem is the gethostbyname() call within Mapi is not working. The Mserver started without problems but when I try to run Mapi: bash-3.1$ MapiClient -lx MAPI = monetdb@localhost:50000 ACTION= mapi_reconnect ERROR = gethostbyname failed /proc/version says: Linux version 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 (brewbuilder@hs20-bc2-3.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)) #1 SMP Sat Mar 10 18:20:58 EST 2007 I have had a lot of other problems with this system like bootstrap complaining the filesys refcounts are not correct or the problem that after installation of MonetDB all file mask bits (rwx) of group-other (go) are ---, Anybody any idea what could cause the gethostbyname() problem here???
