Notes for IPv6
|
| 2 |
|
|
--------------
|
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
If you are using libc5, you may need to edit the Makefile so that
|
| 5 |
|
|
libinet6 is linked in and your IPv6 include files are found in the
|
| 6 |
|
|
right place. The definitions in question are at about line 91. You may
|
| 7 |
|
|
also find that the header files provided with inet6-apps are not exactly
|
| 8 |
|
|
what net-tools expects. This is not a bug in net-tools as such and will
|
| 9 |
|
|
not be fixed in future releases (though if anybody would like to contribute
|
| 10 |
|
|
a patch I would be happy to add a pointer to it here.) If you have the
|
| 11 |
|
|
option you might consider changing to glibc instead (see below) in which
|
| 12 |
|
|
case you can use the header files supplied with the C library.
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
If you use glibc, you should ensure that you have version 2.1 or later
|
| 15 |
|
|
installed. The 2.1 release is available from
|
| 16 |
|
|
other places. With this
|
| 17 |
|
|
version of the C library there should be no need to edit the Makefile
|
| 18 |
|
|
or apply any patches to net-tools.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
Version 2.0 of glibc has no support for IPv6; patches did exist at one
|
| 21 |
|
|
point but they are now seriously outdated. Instead you should upgrade
|
| 22 |
|
|
to glibc 2.1.

"ifconfig eth0 add ..." does not currently auto-load the IPv6 module.
