Cannot start specjour (nodename nor servname provided, or not known)

[txus]

Looking for managers...
(druby://192.168.1.51:50283) /Users/txus/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-head@rails3/gems/specjour-0.3.0.rc5/lib/specjour/socket_helper.rb:4:in `getaddrinfo': getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (SocketError)

I get this error when running "specjour". Should I specify any special arguments, or do something else..?

Looks like specjour is having issues resolving the ip from the hostname. I think someone else had this issue but I haven't been able to reproduce it on my local networks. Do you still encounter the issue when you disconnect from the network?

DRb connects via hostname if IP can't be resolved

I am still experiencing this problem although I think it might be related to my machine (but not really sure). I took at a look at the commit messages and ticket 16 was referenced so I took a look there and sandro suggested the following to require 'socket' and make the connection manually (to test). My console fails when I try that:

ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'socket'
 => nil 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > Socket.getaddrinfo(Socket.gethostname, nil, Socket::AF_INET,     Socket::SOCK_STREAM)

Did you try running against the master branch directly? I think that commit fixes the problem but I haven't pushed out an updated gem yet so you'll have to reference the git repo in your Gemfile.
