Cannot bind name to socket! : Address already in use

I get this error when I run my program a second time
Is there a way to prevent this?

(I always close any open sockets)

TIA.

Set the flag SO_REUSEADDR.
setsockopt(..., SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, ..., ...);
Look at the man page to setsockopt() call for more info.
