Re: [bug-inetutils] Inetutils-1.9.1 building failure.

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Slax is a portable Linux operating system I am using in order to
   build LFS.

Please don't say `Linux operating system', it is unfair to those who
actually wrote it, the GNU project.  Linux is an important part of the
GNU system, but it is not the system -- it is a kernel.  You can help
us spread that knowledge by talking about GNU when you talk about
GNU-powered software distributions (a la GNU/Linux instead of just
Linux).  Please see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html for more
information.

   So, you are telling me that if the operating system I am using does
   not support IPv6, the operating system I am trying to build also
   will not support it?

Seeing that the operating system you are using is GNU/Linux, then it
does support IPv6.  But for whatever reasons, your kernel (Linux) can
have IPv6 support disabled.  Can you check?  The directory
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/ should exist with some files in it.
