Hi all,

I'd like to set up an IPv6 instance of BIRD for our members, but I'm having some troubles with "make". When I issue "./configure --enable-ipv6" everything goes fine, but the subsequent "make" at a certain poing gives these errors:

On the same machine BIRD compiles successfully without the v6 option. Am I missing something basic here? The box runs on a Fedora 12.

Hi Simone, this is a known bug. It is fixed differently in current git repository, but you can for example use my hot fix from Fedora RPMs. (Attached). Ondrej

Thanks a lot, Simone.
