first i recompiled everything without optimizations

after setting ld_library_path to the correct path, i tried the exception test on the ppc (which worked like before) and then tried to start the IceStorm service like described in the README file of the IceStorm demo:

demo/IceStorm/clock$ ../../../bin/icebox --Ice.Config=config_service
error: ServiceManager: exception while starting service IceStorm:
../../include/IceUtil/Handle.h:44: IceUtil::NullHandleException

on the alpha the exception tests worked after compiling in debug mode, the icestorm problem occured on this architecture too, but with the following message:

demo/IceStorm/clock$ ../../../bin/icebox --Ice.Config=config_service
error: ServiceManager: Network.cpp:357: Ice::SocketException:
socket exception: Cannot assign requested address

i strace-d the program and this is the part which - i think - is relevant for this error

is there any special capability the network interface must have for icestorm to connect? (i am not running this as root)
