Re: Running SuperColliderAU

Hello Marcin,

Running
u = Server(\scau, NetAddr("127.0.0.", 9989));
u.startAliveThread;
doesn't throw any errors, but it doesn't seem to be communicating with the
server, either.
Running u.ping(10); after executing code above throws the following error:
server not running

I'm using SC 3.11.2, built from source and running on Catalina. There
shouldn't be anything else defined as it's a fresh install.
