[Xorp-users] Newbie: trouble getting XORP started

[videoip videoip]

My problem is that I have two machines with Mandrake 10 installed, in
the one I want to run xorp I can't compile the code due to lack of
free space in the harddisk, so I compiled the code in the other
machine then made a RPM, and installed that RPM in the first machine,
because of the thing you've told me it appears that the machine I want
to run xorp doesn't have support for ipv6, but the one I compiled the
code has, because I'm working with ipv4 and don't need ipv6 at all, my
question is how do I compile xorp without ipv6 support??
Thanks in advance,
Guillermo.
