One needs to enable IPv6 support in the Kernel. So probably a sanity check should be added to the ebuild. Now that I figured this out, it still refuses to start, this time with following message: # mdnsd -debug starting setsockopt - IPV6_PKTINFO: Protocol not available stopping I have no idea what IPV6_PKTINFO is and there doesn't seem to be a Kconfig value for it.

(In reply to bug 176845 comment #3) > You've enabled the ipv6 use flag. I can't connect to my system now, but from > your error, I believe that mdsnd was built with ipv6 support. Did you enable > ipv6 in your kernel? Yes, unlike (all?) other packages mdnsd wont run when it was built with ipv6 support, but the current Kernel doesn't support it. I wonder how other packages manage to work around that issue without failing to start at all. Is that a misdesign by Apple in mDNSResponder?
since my bug got marked a duplicate, I'll join here. With my IPV6 Enabled, Routing, real ip address, IPV6 in the kernel. I get desolation mDNSResponder # mdnsd -debug starting setsockopt - IPV6_PKTINFO: Protocol not available stopping It looks like we can undefine IPV6_PKTINFO it would resolve that. // code mDNSPosix.c: #if defined(IPV6_PKTINFO)mDNSPosix.c: err = setsockopt(*sktPtr, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_PKTINFO, &kOn, sizeof(kOn));mDNSPosix.c: if (err < 0) { err = errno; perror("setsockopt - IPV6_PKTINFO"); }mDNSUNP.c:#if defined(IPV6_PKTINFO) && HAVE_IPV6mDNSUNP.c: cmptr->cmsg_type == IPV6_PKTINFO) { // end I'll have to do some testing, and see in a few.
No, undefining isn't it. Disabled ipv6 support in -r5. Future on linux seems to be using avahi anyways.
