i found this reference to libxml2 issue: http://osdir.com/ml/lang.perl.xml/2004-03/msg00082.html it suggested to put undefs in the specific source files nanohttp.c and nanoftp.c i added to nanohttp.c: #undef SUPPORT_IP6 #undef HAVE_GETADDRINFO to nanoftp.c: #undef SUPPORT_IP6 after that it compiled and got built ok.

acconfig.h says: /* Define if IPV6 support is there */ #undef SUPPORT_IP6 /* Define if getaddrinfo is there */ #undef HAVE_GETADDRINFO

config.h.in says this (in 2 places) /* Define if IPV6 support is there */ #undef SUPPORT_IP6

configure has this (not sure if it's used on windows) ... [line 26531] #define SUPPORT_IP6 _ACEOF

it seems IP6 support is turned off everywhere, do I need to pass a command line argument to turn off IP6 support?

here is what configure.in says [line 498] dnl ***********************Checking for availability of IPv6*******************

AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether to enable IPv6]) AC_ARG_ENABLE(ipv6, [ --enable-ipv6[[=yes/no]] enables compilation of IPv6 code [[default=yes]]],, enable_ipv6=yes)

what command line switch should I use to turn off IP6?

thanks in advance.
