compiling problem: os-ip.c

["Armin Leitner" <armin.leitner@tikom.at>]

Hi,

I have tried to compile openldap-2.0.x (1, 4 and 6) on my linux-box and I 
always get the following error message:

cc -g -O2 -I../../include -I../../include -c os-ip.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/os-ip
.lo
os-ip.c: In function `ldap_connect_to_host':

It seems to be a problem with getaddrinfo(). If I disable manually '#define 
HAVE_GETADDRINFO' in 'include/portable.h' it seems to work.

Is it okay to disable HAVE_GETADDRINFO manualy? Could this cause any 
operational problems?   

I'm using linux-2.2.14 on a SUSE 6.4 installation. 

regards
