Hi, all

	 I Tried this with XORP but it looks like does not work. 

       There is already IPv6 multicast forwarding patch for the Linux kernel 
      (http://clarinet.u-strasbg.fr/~hoerdt/linux_ipv6_mforwarding/)
     
     The error message is "adopt_mrouter_socket() failed: IPv6 multicast routing not supported" in xorp/fea/mfea_mrouter.cc line 419( I  used Xorp 1.1 tarball) as follows:
	#ifndef HAVE_IPV6_MULTICAST_ROUTING
		XLOG_ERROR("adopt_mrouter_socket() failed: "
		   "IPv6 multicast routing not supported");
		return (XORP_ERROR);
	#else
	blabla....

    HAVE_IPV6_MULTICAST_ROUTING is not defined. Any hint on this? 
	What is the best place should I define this?
	Any other similar defination?

	Thanks in advance.
