[chuck]: cannot bind to tcp port 8888...

hendrikus@pardus chuck $ ./chuck birdies.ck
[chuck]: cannot bind to tcp port 8888...

Can someone explane me what this message means - i know that there is a http://localhost 8080 port?

[kurtk]

is another chuck already running? perhaps in another shell?
if i enter:
%>chuck test.ck
in one shell and then in another shell do it again...
%>chuck test.ck
the second chuck gives that same complaint.

you want to enter:
%> chuck --loop
in one shell
and then:
%> chuck test.ck
in another to add the shred to the vm.

or if you are hardcore:
%> chuck --loop &
in one giving you back the prompt and then
%>chuck test.ck
in the same shell.

hope that helps.

Yes, exactly as Kurt says. Dan Trueman was asking on the mailing list about the same thing, a while ago. His problem definitely had to do with a second instance.

This port is the default one that ChucK uses to communicate between the VM and other terminal windows for the commands to add, replace, remove, etc, shreds. if the issue isn't a second instance of ChucK it might be a overly active firewall.

Also note that "chuck --loop &" will only work on Unix-based OS's so not on Windows.

Welcome on board, Kurt.
