No, you need

  export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost 192.168.X.X'

No comma.  No cash.

Even better is to just do

  echo 'localhost 192.168.X.X' > /usr/local/etc/hosts

or wherever it is with your installation.

No.

You need to direct the trace to a file using strace -o.  Then view
that in less, and look for an error immediately preceding the
jobserver unavailable error.

I don't think that is a problem.

Of course Linux is the way to go (if you don't have the balls to
pirate software).
