[ic] getting frustrated, can't get server running (SOLVED - BUG IN VLINK CONFIGURE)

[J P]

Well, it's fixed, it's gonna cost me, but it's fixed
so far and I can now get into the store and the admin.
 I got my sysadmin to walk through this with me.  And
it's not a permissions problem, it's a bug that
someone might want to look at.  

Here's the scoop, in the part where you have to
manually compile vlink as shown in the docs for
FreeBSD basically, config.h has this line
#define LINK_FILE     
"~@~INSTALLARCHLIB~@~/etc/socket"
when running vlink's configure, it should replace the
INSTALLARCHLIB string with my /usr/local/interchange
directory.  It doesn't.  And so, from what I
understand, two parts of the program were looking in
two different places for the socket, when they should
be looking in the same place.  Hence the generic
server was unavailable message.

I would have never, and I do mean never, found this
myself and I'm really amazed that he found it, but he
did. (John, you da man.)  Once we manually replaced
the string, re-running bin/makecart got everything
going just fine.  Thanks for everyone's help so far
and I hope someone else finds this useful if they run
into the same problem.
