I'm running OS X 10.5.5 and Xcode 3.1 with the Xquartz 2.3.0 X window
system. When I run an application that relies DCOP interprocess
communication (e.g., konsole, kdeinit, kate, kile, kdevelop, koctave,
...), I get an alert box with

  -------------
  There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.
The message
  returned by the system was:

  Could not read network connection list.

  Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!

On 10.5 things _are_ a bit different than on prior OS X versions. I had a similar error recently, but it _was_ due to an ownership issue. The error with bind() is suggestive, though--perhaps something's gone askew that would be cleared by a reboot and flushing of /tmp. I suspect there isn't much in common with the thread you referenced, since that was several versions of KDE ago.

I flushed out /tmp and rebooted. No joy; same problem. \:-/ I'm at a loss for a way to diagnose the problem.

Thanks

What happens if you run dcopserver manually?

Hey! Not a victory but at least a change in behavior and maybe some useful feedback.
Launching dcopserver from the command line like this:

  bash$ dcopserver

yields

  DCOP: register 'anonymous-877' -> number of clients is now 1
  DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-877'

Sounds encouraging.  I guess.  Next, try running an app like kile or kate:

  bash$ kate&

... and get a torrent in the terminal:

... plus an error alert box:

But kate does run. It may be crippled -- I haven't checked it out thoroughly -- but it does run.

klauncher doesn't like to be started manually, it's supposed to be started by kdeinit. Starting kdeinit manually gives the now familiar.
