I recently compiled Term 1.14 for the EXACT same machine as yourself, but I
didn't use the "make DO=install mips" command. I used another. Which
apparently worked! I've never had any sort of problem with it. Perhaps there
is another OS/CPU type that might fit the bill?

: I had the same problem.  Make sure you don't have a file your home
: directory called ".term".  TERM expects ".term" to be a directory where
: it creates the socket file.

Like I said.... I had no trauma. If you would like, I could send the
binaries to you.

This is not a problem with ultrix, its a problem with afs.  After I used
then ultrix patch to get term 1.15 to compile, I got the same error message
that you did.  The problem is that "bind" cannot create a socket in an afs
directory.  You need to change the path for "socket" to be on your local disk
(i.e. use /tmp/socket).  Once I changed the "path" in the files socket.c and
in main.c, then it worked ok.  (I didn't really test it, but it did not
die with the above error message).

hope this helps,
Sheldon.
