Read the exception message again. It is complaining that gdnc isn't
_aready_ running.

You need to start gdnc during X11 startup, that is, from HOME/.xinitrc
or HOME/.xsession (or whatever your system is using).

I use the following in my HOME/.xinitrc

[...]
    # Start Distributed Notification Server
    #
    if [ -x `which gdnc` ];
    then
      opentool gdnc
    fi

    # Start PasteBoard Server
    #
    if [ -x `which gpbs` ];
    then
      opentool gpbs
    fi
[...]

You should probably also make sure that gdomap is started during
system boot time.
