Re: Tyring to run the examples program...and failing

[Marc Brünink]

Hi,

openapp will start gdomap and gdnc unless they're running. Your openapp 
just starts gdnc. So I assume you have a running gdomap, which is 
probably somehow  fucked up by your firewall. You should try to kill 
all instances of gdomap, gdnc and gpbs, disable your firewall and 
launch your app  with openapp.
These errors are more or less normal. The only important one is:
unable to register to nameserver as GDNCServer - quitting
Which means your gdomap is not running correctly.

regards
Marc
