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

[loytsos]

Slax is a portable Linux operating system I am using in order to build LFS.
I entered 'grep IPV6 config.h' and I got 'grep: config.h: No such file
or directory'.
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?
