That message means that the link script (vlink) can't connect to the 
socket file for the active Interchange server.  Common reasons for this 
include:

* Interchange server is not running.

* vlink script has incorrect location for socket file.

* vlink script does not have permission to connect to the socket file.

Of all of these the third is probably the most common.  See:
