[GEEKY] Eclipse 3.2.1, CVS and SourceForge.net on Mac OS X
If you need this tip, it will save you a lot of time. 99% likely though, you don't need it and it will read as complete gibberish. But I feel compelled to share it because it's totally obscure and I just spent 2 hours trying to figure it out.
Problem:
Eclipse 3.2.1 just ceased to be able to grab code from SourceForge.net via CVS. It would give an error: "Invalid argument or cannot assign requested address"
Configuration
Eclipse for using CVS on SourceForge requires ExtSSH (which means, use the Eclipse bundled SSH client, rather than some other utility that you have on your computer -- don't ask.)
Mac OS X, 10.4.9, all patches applied
Eclipse: 3.2.1 - brand new download
Solution:
- In Mac OS X Network settings, TCP/IP, make sure that IPv6 is configured and shows an IPv6 Address.
Thanks for listening.
