I have the exact same problem on RH 7.2. I can compile from CVS okay, but I get the create socket errors. Same deal with the port; I have verified that it is not in use by another process.
I won't say that I gave up on trying to resolve the issue, but for the time being I set up another box running Slackware 8.0 - I have had zero problems compiling and running the server on that setup.
