I also see them declared as extern, but I can't find which library has the definitions. This is in OpenSuSE 11.1. Like I said, I don't know much about autoconf, but if you ever did figure out how to do it, the ideal would be to use its feature of attempting a little compilation including those symbols, and if it linked then tne default would be HAVE_IPv6 (or ENABLE_IPv6?) = 1, otherwise 0. But sorry, I don't know enough about autoconf to make this happen. James F.
