Hi Tim -
Your situation is a different issue. The lrh build forces building with
IPv6, as that is wired in to ldb (Debian), lfd (Fedora), lmd (Mandrake),
lrh/lsu (RedHat/SuSE), and oxp/osx (Mac OS X) builds.
Actually, the ldb, lfd, lmd, lrh, and lsu builds are all jackets into the
lnp (Linux with PAM) build. The only thing they do is to change several
configuration settings, including forcing the setting for IPv6. These
changes aren't defaults; they're overrides to defaults and thus themselves
can't be overridden.
As you discovered, answering "n" to the "Do you want to build with IPv6
anyway?" cancels the build and does a clean.
Unless your copy of RedHat has the glibc bug that the error message warns
about, there is no reason not to build with IPv6 support. It'll work just
fine in an IPv4 environment. The glibc bug was fixed some time ago, so
unless your Redhat system is old you should have the fixed version.
Fortunately, there is a way to force IPv4 building, even on a build which
is forced to IPv6. That's done by setting IP6=4, that is:
make lrh IP6=4
The IMAP toolkit's build procedures will be completely reimplemented from
scratch in a future version, but not in the imap-2006 series.
