[Nix-dev] guile 2.0.7 test suite fails without IPv6 support

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

the test suite for guile-2.0.7 fails on my machine, complaining:

  ERROR: socket.test: AF_INET6/SOCK_STREAM: bind - arguments: ((system-error "bind" "~A" ("Cannot assign requested address") (99)))
  ERROR: socket.test: AF_INET6/SOCK_STREAM: bind/sockaddr - arguments: ((system-error "bind" "~A" ("Cannot assign requested address") (99)))

This looks to me like the build requires IPv6 support -- which my
machine doesn't have. An obvious way to hack around this issue is to
disable the test suite, but that's not really satisfactory. Is there
another, less intrusive solution?

Ludo, do you have a suggestion?

Take care,
Peter
