giFTd connection error
 

while trying to tun giFTd with the curses frontend i encounter the following problem: giftcurs reports

Can't connect to the daemon at 127.0.0.10:5800, is giFT running?
giFTcurs v0.6.1 -This is Free Software. Press F1 or M-1 for more info

starting giFTd from terminal:
$ giftd -v

after which it 'hangs'

can anybody help me on this problem? I have installed gift and fasttrack from source and connect to the internet via a ethernet router

thanks

edit:
stuff works now. the key is to start giftd in a terminal and then open the frontend in another. Doing only the last gives lots of errors.
