Avahi

If you're having errors starting specjour listen, make sure that the avahi daemon is running. This should be true for most conventional desktops, but you might have problems on a minimal installation.

On Ubuntu you will probably need libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev in order to install specjour, this should do the trick:

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

On an Arch Linux, this should do the trick:

sudo /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start

Check your own distribution's documentation for the specific way to do it there.

Add Bonjour to Gentoo

Add this to your /etc/make.conf

USE="[...] dbus autoipd howl-compat mdnsresponder-compat "

And then install the following :

emerge nss-mdns
emerge net-dns/avahi

Add avahi (Bonjour) to the boot sequence :

rc-update add avahi-daemon default
