It looks like this is unfortunately more involved. The test of my adjustment above immediately failed with ENOENT, which you have to expect on hpux apparently. According to some googling (see: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/dist/bind/lib/isc/unix/Attic/ifiter_ioctl.c?rev=1.1.1.4.4.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup and others), the long method returns ip6 addresses and the short method returns ip4 addresses, and you have to do both on hpux always. Forcing the short method, the test worked, I got the loopback and the local address. So we have a couple of options here: hacking the foreach to use the short method on hpux is certainly better situation than we have now, or fixing this 'properly', means refactoring this file a bit and adding a configure test or leaning on an hpux macro. I have no way of testing the long form method I posed above -- does anybody have an ipv6 hpux box? merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
