Running specjour on Linux

Avahi

If you're having errors starting specjour listen, make sure that the avahi daemon is running. This should be true for most conventional desktops, but you might have problems on a minimal installation.

On Ubuntu you will probably need libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev in order to install specjour, this should do the trick:

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

On an Arch Linux, this should do the trick:

sudo /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start

Check your own distribution's documentation for the specific way to do it there.
