that is already in the design of this framework. this is a request that
preston smith (the other freebsd guru) asked for quiet a while back and
it makes a lot of sense.
% ./configure --help
...
--with-apr=DIR|FILE prefix for installed APR, path to APR build
tree,
or the full path to apr-config
--with-apr-util=DIR prefix for installed APU, or path to APU build
tree
this allows package maintainers to decide if they want to use the
packaged apr/apr-util or instead create a dependency in their package on
the external library.
if you are worried about the size of the package... i guess we could
have a (with srclib and without srclib setup). i don't think a couple
meg download should be much of a problem though... even 5 megs.

it looks like localhost is resolving to an IPv6 address.

good.

expected.

this is strange and not what i would expect (or found on other operating
systems). hmmmm. are you running any ip filters on the box?
looking at the sockstat output... i looks like it is binding to the ipv6
only. i don't know about freebsd but with linux you can get a "sit0"
interface to bridge ipv6-ipv4 requests.
one thing to try.... look at the gmond.c source.
in main() there is a create_server_socket() call... the first parameter
is the IP address to bind to locally. it's set to NULL (let the os
decide)... try to explicitly set it to "127.0.0.1" and see what happens.
i suspect it will bind to ipv4 and not answer ipv6 requests. if so.. i
think you'll need to find out how to bridge the two on freebsd...
IPv6-in-IPv4 or 6 to 4.

might get you started in the right direction.

that explains why localhost was resolving to ipv6.
