Bug 395031 – net-analyzer/tcpdump-4.2.0 USE=-ipv6 - print-babel.c:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `ip6addr_string'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrey Grozin 2011-12-17 06:11:04 UTC]

print-babel.o: In function `format_address':
print-babel.c:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `ip6addr_string'
print-babel.o: In function `format_prefix':
print-babel.c:(.text+0xfd): undefined reference to `ip6addr_string'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tcpdump] Error 1
 * ERROR: net-analyzer/tcpdump-4.2.0 failed (compile phase):

On my computers, ipv6 is disabled everywhere, because all routers (both in the Institute and in the home network) don't support it. ipv6 support should be optional.

Reproducible: Always
