The warning does not seem to affect the normal functioning of Geany, as far as I know.
I would however like to discover further information about this warning, and resolve it, if possible.
This reminds of https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2101. In short, check your firewall settings and/or whether some other application might be using TCP port 49876.
The IPC socket is used for communication between two Geany instances, e.g. when you have Geany running and use "Open with Geany" menu item in Explorer or similar. The communication is done via TCP port 49876 on which the first started Geany instance binds to. The above message tells that either the port is already in use by another process or that a firewall might be blocking the port.
