MakeLink: bind error (INET): Invalid argument

This error has me baffled.  I suspect that we are encountering an issue 
in which either your operating system or ours is too old and the type of 
internet socket does not match what is expected.  Are you running $ARCH 
LINUX or LNX64.  If the former, is your machine actually a 64-bit 
machine?  If so, you could consider switching and that might solve the 
problem.

A work-around is to use tv=local on the comman line.  So long as you are 
not using TVs between computers, this works well and does not use the 
same sort of sockets.
