--disable-dhcpv6 not working

[Nicholas F Miller]

I am running gcc version 4.0.2. I will give 4.3.2 a try.

I have one more question. If I want the PID, leases and conf to be in  
PREFIX/etc can I set a configure flag or do I still need to edit the / 
includes/site.h? When I configured using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dhcp-4.1.0 --localstatedir=/usr/local/ 
dhcp-4.1.0/etc

I still wound up having to edit the /includes/site.h to locate the PID  
and leases files.

Thanks,
