This error is appearing because of some problem with the include
files related to IpV6 installed on your system. When I compile the
library on HP's "Testdrive" Tru64 system this error does not appear,
and the compilation completes satisfactorily.

Rather than pursue where the error/confusion with IpV6 installation
lies, you may wish to circumvent the problem by adding the flag
   --enable-ipv6=no
when you run ./configure.
