I have reinstalled iChat, using the information in this post on Apple discussion boards. I have then updated to iChat AV 2.1. I am still getting broken pipe. Before that I did permission update, and pre-binding.

Now what do I do? I need this working ASAP for a video conference tonight.

Turn off your network (Airport, Ethernet, Diaup, or whatever) connection before opening iChat. It should then open. You'll have to do this every time you open it. I experience this problem too, came with one of the more recent security/system updates, and no one seems to have found a solution to it (short of reinstalling the OS).

ok fixed for now. I read that but didn't want to have to do it. It worked when I booted up 2 weeks ago, so what came out in that time? (I was gone the week before).

I've had the problem for more than two weeks but it appeared after installing a security update.
