I did a checkpc command on redhat 9.0 and got this in return:

2003-07-07-09:32:53.243 linux Get_local_host: 'localhost' IP address not available

What does this mean?

There's no IP address specified for hostname "localhost". Check /etc/hosts. Mine starts out:
Code: 
127.0.0.1    localhost
Try adding that to /etc/hosts, run your command again. Should (note, should ;-)) fix it for you.
