Since upgrading to 10.2.2 and recompiling emacs from cvs (21.3.50), I
find that emacclient no longer connects to a running carbon emacs. For
example
emacsclient --no-wait +100 file.tex
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
This is despite the fact that the carbon emacs is running and the
server has been started in my .emacs file with
(server-start)
Everything works fine with emacs 21.2.1 running under Xwindows

I'd guess that you are using the old fink version of emacsclient and
the new cvs version of emacsserver. Emacsclient/server has been
modified to truncate hostnames at the first `.', which means that the
name of the unix domain socket changed. If you have an old
emacsclient binary in your path (/sw/bin/emacsclient, for example) it
will not find the new socket.

I'm afraid that I can't help answer this question, but it made me
think of the following:
Would it be a good idea for this error message to explain how to start
the server within Emacs? You might think that because someone has
used emacsclient, they must know to do M-x server-start before hand.
However, in ESS (Emacs speaks statistics), emacsclient is used to
allow running statistical processes to use Emacs to edit various
objects. So it it possible that an Emacs user may not yet know
about calling server-start. Perhaps ESS should ensure (server-start)
is called, but regardless I think having an extra line in the error
might be helpful. e.g.:
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in emacs, type "M-x server-start".
Any objections to me checking this into lib-src/emacsclient.c?
Stephen

That is a good idea. Thanks for thinking of it,
and please do it.

I notice you will also get this error message if you have executed sudo
-s to become root. I presume the emacsclient is not capable of
connecting to another users server?

That is probably correct. I suppose there could be a feature to
specify the intended user name, for running emacsclient as root.
An envvar would be the convenient way, rather than a command option.
