Rails - Feb 2006 - HELP: Strange problem with breakpointer - stopped working

Hello,
I am in the middle of my first ROR project and suddently the 
breakpointer script (./script/breakpointer) does allways return the 
error listed below.

All time before it was working without problems - but the funny think, I 
did not change anything on the system (despite downloading the Suse 
Security Patches).

I am running:
Suse 9.3
Rails 1.00
Ruby 1.8.3


Please help, if you have any idea.
Thanks
  Christian

Error log from start breakpointer ./script/breakpointer (returned 
immedeatly after start):

Looks like a DNS lookup problem to me (though I wouldn''t expect the DRb
lib to need to do a DNS lookup for what should be a localhost
connection).  I also grepped and googled for "immedeatly" and
didn''t see
anything matching.

Hi,
thank you for your tip. My etc/hosts looks like:

127.0.0.1       localhost

So I cant see the problem.

I think the problem is related to the ruby version. I checked the 
breakpointer script:
DRb.start_service()
-> without parameter (as it is called in breakpointer) does not work for 
Ruby 1.8.4 and Ruby 1.8.3 (works only with 1.8.2) -> this will return 
the error above.

If the uri is named and breakpointer is started with
./script/breakpointer -c  druby://localhost:12345
it will work.
Christian
