[Help-gnunet] Mar 13 11:21:44 WARNING: announcing ourselves pointless: no hosts known

[David Roundy]

Hello.  I've been trying to get gnunet working on my debian testing box.  I
installed the gnunet package (which is at version 0.6.1b), and edited the
config files to set IP to my computer's external DNS name, and commented
out both BLACKLISTs (I couldn't figure out how to get
gnunet-transport-check to work otherwise).

I didn't seem to be able to connect, and saw a bunch of "no hosts known"
errors in the log.  So I turned the debug level to EVERYTHING, and now I
get following messages every minute or so:

Mar 13 11:20:00 DEBUG: too few peers connected, waiting for 3048 to reach 4096 
before trying HTTP download (again).

Mar 13 11:21:44 WARNING: announcing ourselves pointless: no hosts known
Mar 13 11:21:44 WARNING: announcing ourselves pointless: no hosts known

I figure I've probably made a mistake somewhere, but am not clear where.
"gnunet-search GPL" just waits there for a long time.

Any idea as to what might be going wrong?
