Freeciv 2.0.8

[Temlakos]

Everyone:

Would SELinux interfere with Freeciv?

Freeciv works in single-player mode primarily by starting its own server 
process and connecting to it. But when I try to start a Freeciv client, 
I get this message:

> Starting server...
> Couldn't connect to the server.
> We probably couldn't start it from here.
> You'll have to start one manually. Sorry....

Then when I /do/ try to start a Freeciv server manually, and load a 
game, I can't connect. When I try to use Freeciv's client to "connect to 
a network game"--well, I see a few games out on the Internet, but /none/ 
in my "Local Area Network."

When I run Freeciv on a Windows box--no problem at all.

What might be the issue? Actually, I tried disabling SELinux, and then 
running Freeciv right away. No joy. (Whenever I process updates to 
selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted, I always disable SELinux, 
process the update, re-enforce SELinux, and restart the system for 
relabeling.)

It's either some obscure element of SELinux, or it's the kernel. I don't 
even know how to go about diagnosing it.

I would appreciate any suggestion. I know it's "just a game," but 
anything that interferes with a game, might also interfere with a 
business or professional application that I might try to develop, that 
needs to do something similar.
