svc_register() RPC: Unable to receive

  • I am developing an application to run on a DM500 and need to use rpc. When the function svc_register is envoked from my appl I get the following error message, RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused.
    Having taked to some of my peers it has been suggested that the portmapper is not running on the dreambox (NFS works fine btw).
    What I need to know is how to compile in the portmap appl into my image and how to envoke it automatically on boot.
    Is this just a software limitation with DM500, ie would say the DM7000 have the portmap commands?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
