But in building the 20091114 version, I saw that the ./configure script thinks I have a working ipv6 network. Sorry. While I do have some ipv6 entries in my host file, the _working_ setup here is 100% ipv4. So you may want to see if some site that has a known ipv6 address can be ping6'd. I apparently do not even have an ipv6 dns server, or it cannot get through an x86 version of dd-wrt, my router.
