xscope compilation error

[Joel Feiner]

On a related note, how do you actually get xscope to work?  I've tried 
following the manpage but whenever I connect to xscope with a client, it 
causes xscope to die with the message: "Could not connect to Server" and 
the reason given (if the debug level is high enough) is "TransConnect() 
failed".

Sorry to hijack...
