The code uses the function "ourSourceAddressForMulticast()" (in 
"groupsock/Groupsock.cpp") to find its IP address.  It does this by sending 
a multicast packet, then receiving it, and looking at the IP source 
address.  Somehow this is failing.

It appears that you do not have multicast configured correctly in your 
kernel, as illustrated by:

>Unable to determine our source address: setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) 
>error: No such device

Make sure that you have a route for "224.0.0/4" (to "eth0").
