[rabbitmq-discuss] "Protocol wrong type for socket"

As David suggests, it's likely that you have the wrong branch of rabbitmq-c.
This is often caused by an obsolete behaviour of the web interface to the hg
repo, which offers a link to the most recent version on any branch rather than
the most recent version on the default branch. Try either of these approaches
to getting the code:

hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-c

or

wget http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-c/archive/default.tar.gz (not tip.tar.gz)

Regards,
  Tony
