[PATCH] Re: gai_strerror not found on RH 5.2 (libc5?)

[Jeff Trawick <tr...@attglobal.net>]

Please try this patch and post

1) the part of configure output that corresponds to this from my 
   machine:

Checking for IPv6 Networking support...
checking for library containing getaddrinfo... none required
checking for library containing gai_strerror... none required
checking for library containing getnameinfo... none required
checking for gai_strerror... yes
checking for working getaddrinfo... yes
checking for negative error codes for getaddrinfo... yes
checking for working getnameinfo... yes
checking for sockaddr_in6... yes
checking if APR supports IPv6... yes

2) whether or not HAVE_GETADDRINFO is in apr_private.h

3) whether or not your build works (and if not, how does it fail) 

Thanks,

Jeff
