Zebra-0.95a not able to install on IPv6 stack(onLinux)

[Saurabh Deshmukh]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to install zebra-0.95a on Linux(Red_Hat_Linux 6.3) box with pure IPV6 stack(means no IPv4) and facing compilation issues while running ‘make’ command.

i.e I’m using: “Linux IPv6 stack for GNU/Linux 2.2.x and higher” as its said to be supported on Zebra.

 

Here is what I tried:

1) Downloaded zebra(zebra-0.95a.tar.gz) from http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/network/zebra/

2) Copied it to Linux home directory and extracted there.

3) Executed the below command zebra-0.95a/ folder:

               ./configure –prefix= /osszoneuser/osszone/user/test/Live_simulators/zebra  (as I want to install it in this directory and not in default).

               make

 

I get the below error upon running ‘make’ command(also attached the full trace), hence installation isn’t successful on pure IPV6 stack, though the same steps succeeds on IPv4 stack.
