One reason might be running network-manager, particularly when the default network interface is commented out in /etc/network/interfaces.
Looking at /etc/rc2.d/ it seems the distcc init script gets executed before network-manager is started. That means distccd cannot bind to the ip iddress specified in /etc/default/distcc as it hasn't been optained yet. In the log files, I following error message shows up: distccd[2672] (dcc_listen_by_addr) ERROR: bind of 192.168.1.1:3632 failed: Cannot assign requested address distccd[2672] (dcc_exit) exit: code 102; self: 0.000999 user 0.000000 sys; children: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys Once I execute the distcc init script manually, everything works as it is supposed to.
