This is with RedHat 6.2.
The latest IPv6 fixes allow X to compile, but remote connections
no longer work on a machione without IPv6 configured.
I've recompiled with XTRANSDEBUG set high (5 I think):
% xbiff -display localhost:0
_X11TransOpenCOTSClient(tcp/localhost:0)
_X11TransOpen(1,tcp/localhost:0)
_X11TransParseAddress(tcp/localhost:0)
_X11TransSelectTransport(tcp)
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient(tcp,localhost,0)
_X11TransSocketSelectFamily(tcp)
_X11TransSocketOpen(1,1)
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/localhost:0
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0
%
strace shows
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT
(Address family not supported by protocol)
For comparison, local connections succeed and report:
% xbiff
_X11TransOpenCOTSClient(local/:0)
_X11TransOpen(1,local/:0)
_X11TransParseAddress(local/:0)
_X11TransSelectTransport(local)
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient(local,harrier,0)
_X11TransSocketSelectFamily(local)
_X11TransSocketOpen(4,1)
_X11TransSocketOpen: returning for local
_X11TransConnect(3,local/:0)
_X11TransParseAddress(local/:0)
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect(3,harrier,0)
