Subject: MOO on an Alpha

Has anyone ever run MOO on an Alpha?

It compiled just fine, and appears to have started up just fine.
The last line of the log file reads:
Jul 30 18:14:19: LOADING: doug.db done, will dump new database on doug.db.new

But when I telnet to the address, I get:
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

By the way... telneting to the host with no port number works just fine,
so the machine is there.  And the process is running. ps shows:

5474 p3  S      0:09.95 ./moo doug.db doug.db.new 8888

Any clues?
Could there be a problem with it being a 64 bit architecture?

I've got 1.7.0 up and running on an Alpha under OSF/1 1.2. What your 
experiencing is the port number's transformation into network byte order
when the port is assigned. So, if you tell MOO to boot at port 7777, try
reaching it at port 24862.  My fix for this was to edit config.h. Search for
the line which reads:

#define NDECL_HTONL 1

to

#define NDECL_HTONL 0

This did it for me. Hope it's of some help to you.

Run a make, and try again. This did it for me. Hope it's of some help to you.
