I’m getting an error with event machine, being unable to connect to the  
server… I’m using the AMQP gem.

tcp\_connect: inp=0xba201f8 err=EADDRINUSE

Thanks… It’s stumped me and my mates on this one.

Off the top of my head I would say the EADDRINUSE is saying it couldn’t  
bind  
to the socket. Is your application running with the proper permissions?  
Is  
there anything else running that is bound to that port already?
