Do you specify the address family in your socket creation?
10047 Address family not supported by protocol family.

An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. All
sockets are created with an associated "address family" (i.e.
AF_INET for Internet Protocols) and a generic protocol type (i.e.
SOCK_STREAM). This error will be returned if an incorrect protocol
is explicitly requested in the socket() call, or if an address of
the wrong family is used for a socket, e.g. in sendto().
