Error with admin/can't get sample apps going

[nickname23812]

Hi folks,

I'm having a bunch of problems. First of all, the sample applications I
downloaded don't seem to be working--I've tried a bunch, like the
tutorial_textchat and tutorial_hello, but I get nothing.

Secondly, and this may be related to the first or not, I'm seeing these errors
in my /var/log/messages file:

Feb 15 16:21:26 a Admin: Admin Command Timeout: (Command (getInstanceStats)

...etc. They go on and on. Seems pretty obvious it is the output of the
admin trying to connect to the application server (or however the architecture
should be described) and failing.

I'm using this on linux, if you couldn't tell. I'm hoping this is just a
misconfiguration--anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Hello!

I had exactly same problem and it was caused by glibc library without NPTL
support (Native POSIX Thread Library).

Simple way how to chcek if you have glibc with NPTL is look how many processes
are running after you start fms server (ps xaf). There should be only a
fmsmaster process with one fmsedge and one fmscore child. In case you see a lot
of fmsedge and fmscore childs you have glibc without NPTL support.

I am running gentoo, so for me it was just USE=nptl emerge glibc and FMS
started to work. On the other systems you have to search for and install glibc
with NPTL support.
