I compiled and installed successfully, but communication does not work¶

Starting with version 0.5, RSB uses a transport that implements communication within a single process by default. In other words, network communcation is disbabled by default.

This can be changed in three ways:

1. Globally for all RSB programs running under the UNIX user
   Create or modify a RSB configuration file ~/.config/rsb.conf to contain the following lines:
   

   [transport.spread]
   enabled = 1
   [transport.inprocess]
   enabled = 0
   

   
   Lines 3 and 4 can be omitted to enable both transports in parallel.
2. Locally for the current directory
   Create a RSB configuration file $(pwd)/rsb.conf with the same contents as described above.
3. For the current shell
   Set and export environment variables as follows
   

   $ export RSB_TRANSPORT_SPREAD_ENABLED=1
   $ export RSB_TRANSPORT_INPROCESS_ENABLED=1
