NTPD doesn't work

Hi,
When I start NTPD from the command line I get the following error.

>ntpd -ddd

ntpd 4.2.4p7@1.1607-o Fri Jun 19 20:58:34 UTC 2009 (1)
addto_syslog: set_process_priority: Leave priority alone: priority_done is <2>
addto_syslog: precision = 1.000 usec
create_sockets(123)
addto_syslog: ntp_io: estimated max descriptors: 1024, initial socket boundary: 16
addto_syslog: Listening on interface #0 wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled
addto_syslog: bind() fd 17, family AF_INET6, port 123, scope 0, addr ::, mcast=0 flags=0x81 fails: Invalid argument
addto_syslog: unable to bind to wildcard socket address :: - another process may be running - EXITING

I'm not quite sure what it means or how to fix it.
Another process of ntpd isn't running.

Any suggestions.

Hello mrpingle!

Did you follow this instruction and this happened ?

Did it work earlier or is it a fresh trying ?

I just ended up installing openntp which seems to work fine.
