Error on trying to run a simple RPC program

c, rpc, ubuntu

Solution

First you check that portmapper is working or not, use `rpcinfo` to check it. If you get any error then install `portmap`

Problem

I am trying to run a simple RPC program which I have created using rpcgen. Its a simple factorial program. This is my first RPC program. The make works fine.Executables are also created. But when trying to run the executables, I get this error: ``` $sudo ./fact_server Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused unable to register (FACTPROGRAM, FACTVERSION, udp). ``` I tried running the same program on another pc with the same OS (ubuntu). It runs perfect there.
