Bingo. There is at least one implementation of getaddrinfo for IPv4 (<URL:http://www.sra.co.jp/people/m-kasahr/getaddrinfo/>, and while I don't think it would be a disaster if compilation breaks for those system (which I'm actually not sure it does, it seems to have dummy definition of the inet6-stuff, but I don't know whatever it installs it). What we gain by removing the test: * A quicker ./configure What we may possibly lose: * Broken IPv6 capable systems where lsh won't compile might still try to use IPv6 and cause errors. * Breaks compilations on IPv4 systems with getaddrinfo and friends. I wouldn't bet that there aren't any systems without AF_INET6 but with getaddrinfo, so I think it's best to keep the test. /Pontus -- Pontus Sk�ld, see <URL:http://soua.net/> for more information. _______________________________________________ lsh-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/lsh-bugs
