I am finding it not possible to create/use the IPC socket.

- - ------------------------------------
root@reactor: file $(which i3)
/usr/bin/i3: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/i3-GIT'
root@reactor: file $(which i3-GIT)
/usr/bin/i3-GIT: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1
(SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
- - ------------------------------------

IPC is enabled in my kernel (2.6.32.5 x86_64) as follows:

- - -------------------
root@reactor: cat /usr/src/source/*5/.config | grep IPC
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
# CONFIG_MWINCHIPC6 is not set
CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_XFRM_IPCOMP=y
CONFIG_INET_IPCOMP=y
# CONFIG_TIPC is not set
# CONFIG_SND_CMIPCI is not set
- - -------------------

..but I see in my i3.logfile the following:

02/04/2010 05:42:12 AM - src/mainx.c:main:466 - Could not create
the IPC socket, IPC disabled

My reading about IPC tells me that on IA64, IPC is either different
than x86 or not available, but to my understanding, x86_64 != IA64
so I should be OK; I'm curious about this.

I would like to use i3-msg and/or i3-input from within my config
file, to tell i3 some things upon startup.

NOTE: I have switched to using the GIT release . So far so good; a
few glitches, but I haven't nailed them down clearly enough to
provide a useful report yet.
