just installed kdb trial version on my new mac. When i run the binary from terminal it takes more than few minutes for the q prompt to appear. Has anyone else noticed this issue with kdb MacOSX binaries?

Hi Ajay,

This might suggest something is wrong with your network setup, and it is waiting for a timeout. It tries to get the ip and host name on startup.

Thanks Charlie,

Mac is connecting fine to network and got an ip as well

ajays-mbp:~ ajay$ ifconfig |grep inet
??? inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
??? inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
??? inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
??? inet6 fe80::6203:8ff:feaa:21a2%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
??? inet6 fd5b:7bb0:1ea0::6203:8ff:feaa:21a2 prefixlen 64 autoconf
??? inet6 fd5b:7bb0:1ea0::b5b1:fed3:bcab:784a prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary
??? inet 192.168.0.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

However this doesn’t seem to be picked up by kdb

Any way to debug this?

what ip does

$nslookup ajays-mbp

return?

Does it help if you run these commands?


$sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

$sudo dscacheutil -flushcache sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

$sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

the hostname should be configured to resolve to the ipaddress.

Thanks Charlie,

Changing my dns settings to use opendns did the trick
