setsockopt:no such device

What does "IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP: No such device" mean?

It means that the tool is trying to use multicast but the network interface doesn't support it There are two likely causes:

……Your machine doesn't have multicast support enabled. For example, on Linux and FreeBSD it is possible to compile a kernel which doesn't support multicast.

……You don't have a route for multicast traffic. Some systems don't add this by default, and you need to run.

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 224.0.0.0 eth0(or similar). If you wish to use RAT in unicast mode only, it is possible to add the multicast route on the loopback interface.
