You should sign up for a pool service and configure minerd to send shares to that service. Right now it is attempting to connect to a local instance of a scrypt coin (litecoind I would presume) on port 9332 for solo mining. If that is what you intended then verify that you have a server running and listening on that port. It is also not recommended to run minerd as root in case theres is a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the application. You can check by executing the following command:

```
netstat -anp | grep 9332

```

This will tell you what application had that port open if any does.
