OK...if your IPv6 libraries are in the right place this shouldn't be a 
problem.

I think this might be your problem.  One of the Linux machines I test on
(RedHat 5.2 I think) doesn't have definitions for the sockaddr_in6 or
in6_addr structures.  Another one (heavily customized Debian?) *does* 
have them.  My guess is that your header files don't have the right 
structure definitions and may need updating to something that's more in 
line with RFC 2553 ("Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6").

I'm more a daemon-type person than a penguin-type person, so I might not
be able to tell you much else that's useful.  Hope this helps at least a
little bit...

Bruce.
