A bind failure results from the port already being in use.  Do
a "netstat -a -n --tcp | grep 6543" and see if you get a hit that
shows "LISTEN".  If so, you've got something running that is
already listening on the port.  There is a command that you can
use to find out what program is using it but I don't recall off
hand what it is.
