Yes. Everyone is; a minor bug in the configs (I think). To correct, add:

[NETWORK]
PORT = 2087

To gnunet.user (aka ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf) where 2087 is the same port number 
as defined in gnunet.root (aka /etc/gnunet.conf) under [NETWORKING] "PORTS". 
Just change the config; no recompile required :-)

I'm not going to bother filing a bug report for something this minor; 
hopefully a developer will see this and amend the issue.
