Sockets, AF_INET6 and getnameinfo problem

I suspect getnameinfo(3) on Linux does not work well for IPv6.

It’s glibc-2.2.5.

Could you report your compile time information (output from
extconf.rb or Makefile contents), if you compile Ruby by yourself.

You mean this part of ext/socket/Makefile?

CFLAGS = -fPIC -g -O2 -fPIC -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO -DHAVE_SOCKADDR_STORAGE
CPPFLAGS = -I$(topdir) -I$(hdrdir) -DHAVE_NETINET_TCP_H
-DHAVE_NETINET_UDP_H -DHAVE_ST_MSG_CONTROL -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO
-DHAVE_GETNAMEINFO -DHAVE_SYS_UN_H -DHAVE_SYS_UIO_H -DHAVE_SOCKET
-DHAVE_GETHOSTNAME -Dss_family=__ss_family -Dss_len=__ss_len
DLDFLAGS = -L/home/users/qrczak/cvs/ruby -L${exec_prefix}/lib
LDSHARED = gcc -shared

It seems that IPV6 is not detected. Indeed if I hack extconf to say
‘if enable_config(“ipv6”, true)’ instead of ‘…false’, then everything
works! ./configure --enable-ipv6 doesn’t work. And it should work by
default, without ./configure options.

BTW, two other small errors:

Hi,

It seems that IPV6 is not detected. Indeed if I hack extconf to say
‘if enable_config(“ipv6”, true)’ instead of ‘…false’, then everything
works! ./configure --enable-ipv6 doesn’t work. And it should work by
default, without ./configure options.

Thank you. I will check IPv6 in extconf.rb by default.

BTW, two other small errors:

I will merge them. Thank you again.
