Softbench nameserver error

[Larry Risser]

When I attempt to compile a file using Softbench (cc -Aa -c ) I get the following: ERROR: NAMESERVER IS DOWN!!
TRY AGAIN WHEN IT IS UP

I have the nameserver specified in the .conf file and the server is up. Any ideas what else might cause this?

thanks in advance

Do you have the following lines in your /etc/services file ?

softcm 6110/tcp #HP SoftBench CM
softcm 6110/udp #HP SoftBench CM
spc 6111/tcp #HP SoftBench Sub-Process Control
spc 6111/udp #HP SoftBench Sub-Process Control

That is not a common issue, but try to check the services, they must look as follows:


softcm 6110/tcp #HP SoftBench CM
softcm 6110/udp #HP SoftBench CM

spc 6111/tcp #HP SoftBench Sub-Process Control
spc 6111/udp #HP SoftBench Sub-Process Control

/etc/services

Changes were made with the same result. Does this require a reboot?

thanks

I was able to fix this by changing the etc/nsswitch.conf file to add continue to the hosts entry. Thanks for you input and help.
