Hi,

during testing of an addition I'm writing I seem to have stumbled upon a
bug in 4.4.0 (and 4.4.0rc1).

The main error is: "charon: 14[NET] no socket implementation registered,
receiving failed"
where I presume 14 is the identifier of the working thread, I've seen
other numbers as well.

This error is repeated quite often (from syslog):
May 11 12:31:11 pn-test01 charon: 06[NET] no socket implementation
registered, receiving failed
May 11 12:31:57 pn-test01 charon: last message repeated 1051644 times
May 11 12:31:57 pn-test01 charon: 15[NET] no socket implementation
registered, receiving failed
May 11 12:32:51 pn-test01 charon: last message repeated 1228049 times
May 11 12:32:51 pn-test01 charon: 14[NET] no socket implementation
registered, receiving failed
May 11 12:33:19 pn-test01 charon: last message repeated 639124 times


This error gets generated even before any connection is initialized.
I've tried several ./configure options, even default.

I'm wondering if an update to the system may have caused this. As I
recall that it did work before...

I'm using kubuntu and updated to the most recent:

$uname -a
Linux shuttle 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux

I have run $sudo apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade to no avail.

I've tried recreating the error on a ubuntu-server machine however the
make install scripts seems to mess something up:

user at host:/usr/local/lib$ ipsec start
/usr/local/libexec/ipsec/starter: error while loading shared libraries:
libstrongswan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
user at host:/usr/local/lib$ uname -a
Linux host 2.6.31-20-server #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:40:05 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux
user at host:/usr/local/lib$ locate libstrongswan.so.0
/home/user/strongswan/strongswan-4.4.0/src/libstrongswan/.libs/libstrongswan.so.0

/home/user/strongswan/strongswan-4.4.0/src/libstrongswan/.libs/libstrongswan.so.0.0.0

/usr/local/lib/libstrongswan.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libstrongswan.so.0.0.0

On a side note, 4.4.0 is missing as version option on the wiki so I did
 not create an issue there as I could not link the issue to the right
version.

kind regards,
