With no ipv6 support in the kernel, and default use options, (to use ipv6), the ucspi-tcp port is broken. Bad solution, USE="-ipv6" emerge ucspi-tcp according to the developer's own text: "But since some systems may have IPv6 support in their libc but not in the kernel, my tcpserver will always try to create an IPv6 listening socket but will fall back to transparent IPv4 support." My proposition: make ipv6 default or NOT default in both USE and kernel config in base gentoo distribution. /TenOfTen
by broken do you mean the pkg fails to emerge ?
no, tcpserver fails to start. 2002-07-14 01:37:09.012152500 tcpserver: fatal: unable to create socket: address family not supported
i believe the answer would be to disable ipv6 in the default use variable since not everyone uses the gentoo kernel sources ... or just leave it as is since this is more of a configuration issue with people who didnt add ipv6 in their kernel ... *shrug*
ipv6 is no longer a default USE variable.
