Hi Experts,

I am pretty new to Python. I have been trying to compile python

on HP-UX 11.23 IPF machine. I tried to build with following configure

option.

./configure --prefix=/opt/iexpress/python --enable-ipv6 --with-signal-module --with-threads

machine info : HP-UX beta B.11.23 U ia64

gcc : gcc version 3.4.3

While configure, I faced the following pbm,

checking ipv6 stack type... ./configure[13033]: /usr/xpg4/bin/grep: not found.
unknown

Then I checked the config.log to find the entires for IPV6;

configure:12811: checking if --enable-ipv6 is specified
configure:12822: result: yes
configure:12954: checking ipv6 stack type
conftest.c:78:22: features.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:78:48: /usr/local/v6/include/sys/v6config.h: No such file or directory
configure:13111: result: unknown

But, configure didnot produce any error mesage.

So plz advice whether Python supports the IPV6 option on HP-UX. Bez, I know ipv6

differs from linux and HP-UX. If I no need to worry about this and build python. How

to check whether IPV6 option works well with my python.

Anyone please help to how to test the IPV6 functionality test.

Is there any specific IPV6 test available with python. I could not

find any specific testsuit for IPV6 under test directory.

Plz share ur comments

Advance Thanks,
