--enable-ipv6 Error You must get working getaddrinfo() function

Hello all,
    I need to enable ipv6 on HPUX 11.22 machine. I tried the following


# ./configure --prefix=/opt/iexpress/tcpdump --host=ia64-hp-hpux --enable-ipv6>
But I am getting the following error

Fatal: You must get working getaddrinfo() function.
       or you can specify "--disable-ipv6".

How can I achieve this ?
FYI

# grep getaddrinfo /usr/include/*
/usr/include/netdb.h:                /* following for getaddrinfo() */
/usr/include/netdb.h:   extern int getaddrinfo(const char *, const char *,
/usr/include/netdb.h:   extern int getaddrinfo();

Thanks
Murugesan

  Hi,

  One of the items I would like support for in a new format is comments. 
  That is, the ability to add textual comments to frames. These comments 
  would be ignored by tools that do not understand them, but they would be 
  displayed by tools capable of understanding them.

  It seems that there are two ways to deal with this:

  1. A packet type that indicates that the data contained in the packet is a 
  comment associated with the previous (or next) packet in the capture.

  2. Some extra fields in each capture header that allows us to tag the 
  current packet with comment info.
