Just tried to use the newly updated nmap 6.01 and got this error:

Code:
Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-07-11 01:03 PDT
Initiating Ping Scan at 01:03
Scanning www.somehost.com (10.10.10.10) [4 ports]
Error compiling our pcap filter: icmp6 not supported


Apparently, my updated Gentoo OS doesn't supppot IPv6 (?) so according to this site, I need to somehow have nmap compile without IPv6 support. Is there a flag to do this at emerge time? I have tried something like

> emerge namp USE="-ipv6"

But it fails. Help?

jlmcp ...

nmap-6.01 doesn't have an ipv6 use, it looks like your libpcap is missing ipv6 support.

Code:
% awk '/Installed/' <(eix -I nmap)
     Installed versions:  6.01(09:24:45 21/06/12)(lua ncat nping ssl -gtk -ndiff -nmap-update)
% awk '/Installed/' <(eix -I libpcap)
     Installed versions:  1.1.1-r1(22:47:40 05/07/12)(ipv6 -bluetooth -libnl -static-libs)

But I don't want ipv6 support. nmap is compiled -ipv6, libpcap is cmpiled -ipv6, so something is amiss.
