Here's what that -9 error means:
/usr/include/netdb.h:#  define EAI_ADDRFAMILY  -9       /* Address family for NAME not supported.  */

"::" is an IPv6 address for localhost. Do you have IPv6 enabled for your network stack? If not, then set the *interface keys in your ctrl/sbbs.ini file to "0.0.0.0" (for "all" IPv4 network interfaces), that way sbbs won't try to bind to the IPv6 notation for "all interfaces".
