Hi Cheryl: Those messages/errors indicate that there are already sfspeaker or sfmike processes running so it cannot get the ports because they are already taken. I'm not sure if you are using a script or not to get connected to the reflector but the script I use has a killall -9 sfspeaker at the bottom which makes sure there are no left over sfspeaker processes around once you quit. I will include my sfr script below but you will need to edit it to reflect where your binaries live. Mine live in my src/speak_freely directory which yours probably don't.
