Eclipse DDMS error “Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger”

Question

I get the following error in Eclipse:

[timestamp - ddms] Can\'t bind to local 8600 for debugger

Why?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem on OSX. It just so happens I had opened two instances of Eclipse so I could refer to some code in another workspace. Eventually I realized the two instances might be interfering with each other so I closed one. After that, I'm no longer seeing the "Can't bind..." error.
