[ic] Install Problem

I am not asking questions without having spent a lot of time on the
documentation.

Interchange and construct both run (and at the same time) but don't
communicate.  I believe the problem has to do with the configuration
of the link between them.  But since I don't have a clue as to how
this link is supposed to work, I don't know where to start on the
problem.  Perhaps there is a place in the documentation where this is
explained or maybe someone can point me to the place in the source
that does this or maybe explain, conceptually, how the link between
the programs is supposed to work.

As you suggested:
[interch@zeus interchange]$ bin/restart
Killing Interchange server 19280 with TERM.
Low traffic settings.
Calling UI....
...UI is loaded....
Interchange V4.5.7
Configuring catalog construct...Using default DBM database.
done.
Interchange server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 20540)

[interch@zeus interchange]$ ps aux
interch  20544  0.0  0.3  1164  416 pts/0    S    21:32   0:00 grep
interchange
interch  20566  0.0  0.2  1164  344 ?        S    21:37   0:00
construc

"We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...
We are out of service or may be experiencing high system demand,
please try again soon. "
