Cannot run 3.2.13 on my Linux

Technical Support & Bugs

Java version: 1.7.0

Error:
VASSAL:IO error
java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.bind(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:376)

No error log is created, and no windows are opened.

Guessing that it might have to do with my /etc/hosts, but I don’t know what it’s looking for.

Glad you found the problem. A nonfunctional loopback could make many
things on a Linux system behave oddly.
