Hello Douglas,<br><br>Thanks for the information. But I see that ai_addrlen is always initialized zero and I have not modified any code related to that.<br><br>I changed my hostname using <br><br>$sudo sethostname LOCALHOST<br>
<br>I compiled vic-mpeg4 and I was able to send
and receive for sometime. But after I close my terminal, I have the
same problem again. Why is this so? <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Regards, <br>Akhila<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:15 PM, Douglas Kosovic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:douglask@itee.uq.edu.au">douglask@itee.uq.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I made vic to work with my application but it's still posing some problems<br>
which I don't comprehend completely.<br>
<br>
I get this message everytime I run vic.<br>
<br>
vic: getaddrinfo: LOCALHOST: Bad hints<br>
<br>
What does addrinfo has to do with vic? Does hostname play any role in vic?<br>

The error message seems to be coming from the IPv6 code in common/src/net_udp.c<br>
<br>
Is there any reason you need to build vic with IPv6 support or use IPv6? If you look at the net_udp.c, gethostname is used to get the hostname.<br>
<br>
But looking at Apples getaddrinfo implementation:<br>

<br>
The error message only happens if hints->ai_addrlen isn't initilised to zero. In your modifications have you forgotten to initialise ai_addrlen to zero somewhere?<div class="im"><br>

And one thing I observed is, the vic I compiled is 7.3 MB but the one from<br>
the website is 15.8MB. Why is the difference? Are there any additional steps<br>
to compile vic? Please let me know.<br>

7.3 MB is about the same size I have for vic on linux, 15.8 MB seems pretty large, I don't have a Mac handy, but can't rember vic being that large for the version I built (it may be statically linked with Tcl/Tk I guess).<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
