This is really bad. Apparently your version of getaddrinfo is broken or Wget is using it incorrectly. Can you intuit which flags cause the problem? Depending on the circumstances, Wget uses AI_ADDRCONFIG, AI_PASSIVE, and/or AI_NUMERICHOST. > After some testing I found that using the additional > configure-option "--disable-ipv6" solves that problem.

This is not a standard layout, so the configure script is having problems with it. The supported layouts are one of: * No flags are needed, the includes are found without -I<includedir>, and the library gets linked in without the need for -L<libdir>. * The library is installed in $root, which means that includes are in $root/include and the libraries in $root/lib. OpenSSL's own default for $root is /usr/local/ssl, which Wget checks for. To resolve situations like this, Wget should probably support specifying additional include and library directories separately. I believe you can work around this by specifying: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/contrib/include -L/usr/local/contrib/lib Can you check if that works for you? > 3) Using the native IBM C compiler (CC=cc) instead GNU gcc I got the > compile error > > cc -qlanglvl=ansi -I. -I. -I/opt/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H > -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\"/usr/local/contrib/etc/wgetrc\" > -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/contrib/share/locale\" -O -c main.c > "main.c", line 147.16: 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text ',' encountered. > > Simply changing line 147 of src/main.c from > > OPT__PARENT, > > to > > OPT__PARENT > > let the compile error vanish (sorry, I am not a C expert). [...] It's a newer C feature that leaked into Wget -- sorry about that. I'll try to get these fixed in Wget 1.10.1.
