Hello Group,

I am getting a ‘WARN TCPServer Error: Address family not supported by  
protocol - socket(2)’ warning message every time when I try running  
webrick. I am using ruby 1.9.1 with rails 2.3.2.

$ ruby script/server  
=\> Booting WEBrick  
=\> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server  
[2009-05-10 10:57:35] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1  
[2009-05-10 10:57:35] INFO ruby 1.9.1 (2009-01-30) [i686-linux]  
[2009-05-10 10:57:35] WARN TCPServer Error: Address family not  
supported by protocol - socket(2)  
[2009-05-10 10:57:35] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=24721  
port=3000

Any idea?

Thank you,  
Yuguri
