distccd 2.12.1 won't start but distccd 2.11.1 does... Forum has a thread about it, see: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=140241&highlight=distcc The result is, distccd daemon does not run anymore.

I have the same error on two boxes. And it seems to be on the forum too. I search a bit with option or starting directly distccd from the command line but it does not give me idea.

If you don't have ipv6 enabled in your kernel and have ipv6 in your USE settings distccd will not work. Try USE='-ipv6' emerge distcc
issue fixed. the ole ipv6 in USE flags strikes again (please heed the ewarn before compile starts)
Thanks a lot Lisa ! I set the ipv6 flag to prepare a futur switch to IPV6 whithout recompiling all my gentoo box. But I did not build the kernel with ipv6 support in it. Idea: It would be good to add test in portage or etc-update about the USE="+ipv6" and /usr/src/linux/.config (or something like that).
