Sorry, the previous message wasn't complete, so I'm continuing here.

I'm using sendto like this:

(let ((sock (socket AF_INET SOCK_DGRAM 0))
      (message "coucou")
      (addr (car (hostent:addr-list (gethost "localhost")))))
  (sendto sock message AF_INET addr))

and I get this error: 
"ERROR: In procedure sendto:
 ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 5: ()"
