error: ‘struct in6_addr’ has no member named ‘in6_u’

Hi,

while compiling my program in Fedora version- 9 i am getting the following compilation error.

error: ‘struct in6_addr’ has no member named ‘in6_u’

The same program is running in other Fedora versions like Fedora 8 and Fedora 6.

Can any one tell me what is solution for this. I have the snap shot of my prog,

struct sockaddr_in6* sin6 = (struct sockaddr_in6*)&curr->addr;

sin6->sin6_family = AF_INET6;
memcpy (&sin6->sin6_addr.in6_u.u6_addr8,
addr, sizeof(sin6->sin6_addr.in6_u.u6_addr8));

After compilation getting error,

error: ‘struct in6_addr’ has no member named ‘in6_u’

Quote:

The <netinet/in.h> header shall define the in6_addr structure that contains at least the following member:

uint8_t s6_addr[16]

Code:

memcpy(&sin6->sin6_addr, addr, sizeof(in6_addr));
