Unable to connect or boot sc-server

[Hlöðver Sigurðsson]

For me it came up pretty randomly. Maybe it's connected to me updating Supercollider to version 3.7alpha. But I can see a strange error message appearing when I do (connect-to-external-server) from overtone (Supercollider vanilla works fine).

JackDriver: client name is 'SuperCollider'
SC_AudioDriver: sample rate = 44100.000000, driver's block size = 2048
JackDriver: couldn't connect  system:midi_capture_1 to SuperCollider:in_1
JackDriver: couldn't connect  system:midi_capture_2 to SuperCollider:in_2
JackDriver: connected  SuperCollider:out_1 to system:playback_1
JackDriver: connected  SuperCollider:out_2 to system:playback_2
SuperCollider 3 server ready.
JackDriver: max output latency 139.3 ms
Receiving notification messages from server localhost
Shared memory server interface initialized
too many users

This too many users message appears when I'm trying to connect Overtone to supercollider. The error message from overtone is this:

1. Unhandled java.lang.Exception
   The following deps took too long (20 seconds) to be satisfied:
   :server-ready

                      deps.clj:  184  overtone.libs.deps/wait-until-deps-satisfied

                      Var.java:  379  clojure.lang.Var/invoke

If I find solution I will post it, but if anyone has idea of what is going on, please tell me, thanks :-)

Ok I finally got Overtone connected to Supercollider by starting scsynth on port 4555 and do (connect-to-external-server 4555)

I have no idea why supercollider is acting like this on port 57110

SOLVED

Lesson learned; don't put jna.jar on you java classpath.

Hi!

This is a pretty old thread but how did you solve this problem? I am on OS X and I can't find any jna.jar file anywhere in my JAVA_HOME, and changing port didn't help.

Had the same problem, setting s.options.maxLogins = 5 (or however many connections you need) solved it. Replace s with whatever server object you have.
