Was the conclusion to this thread to not change APR?
I thought the conclusion was that "my" boxes were special ;)
There do seem to be lots of 11i boxes "out there" which have got into the state where getaddrinfo is found in libc but non-functional.
hmmm...
If Madhu says that getaddrinfo is first present in the base 11.23 release, I think it would be sensible to simply disable getaddrinfo on pre-11.23 releases e.g. (untested):
sounds reasonable, but I'm curious about what the user would do if they added the optional IPv6 support to one of these pre-11.23 releases and wanted apr to support it
