    Thumbs up fiel descriptor problem

    Error no 9 in setsockopt clearly tells that the socket file descriptor is not valid.Problem is on the creation of the socket.
    Make sure that the socket function returned the socket file descriptor.

    There is no quick solution to this sort of problem. You need to determine why the socket is failing. Possibly you are using the wrong address. Also, I'm not familiar with this software so at this point all I can say is to make sure that it is trying to open the correct hostort address. A failure to do so could be due to any number of problems, including firewall blocking the port being used.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Hi.

    Observations:

    1) RedHat 9 end-of-life was about 6 years ago. If the "Seismic" package is fairly recent, the OS may not support newer code. Perhaps an older version may be more suitable, that is, better matched to RedHat 9.

    2) Advice probably depends a bit on your job function. My experience with geological codes (e.g. for the petroleum industry) was that they were very large Fortran codes, and had very little in the way of deep system calls because they needed to be portable. If you are the researcher, you may want to assign this to a grad student, if you are the IT guy, you may want to consult with the local system admins-programmers as well as with application programmers, if you are the unlucky grad student, do the same if you run out of ideas. Debugging really big codes, especially back-porting to old systems, is often very difficult.

    3) Perhaps you will be lucky and it will be a simple fix, once you isolate the area of the specific problem, so don't be discouraged.

    4) There seems to be either a typo or miscommunication: one error is said to "19", the other is "9".

    Good luck ... cheers, drl
