Getting Error: listen EINVAL: invalid argument ::1:8989 on OpenBSD

[samebchase]

What's the problem you want solved?

Hello, I am attempting to run an older version of Oasis, as I cannot compile the latest version of Oasis on OpenBSD due to https://github.com/libvips/libvips/discussions/2100

This is the error I get for commit f68dd8fbe53974e2ab69cd269d100f08fd0c3190

From what I can gather online ::1 is the ipv6 IP for localhost.

Are you saying that apart from libvips/libvips#2100 and this you'd expect oasis to work on openbsd? Otherwise idk if we're officially supporting it.

[rapenne-s]

It should work, I wrote a blog post about the setup.

I guess that ipv6 must also be disabled on all interfaces to have the compilation issue resolved here, this is a bug on OpenBSD but I can't find which node package is causing this.

Ah thanks @rapenne-s, let me disabling ipv6 and try again.

Okay, the trick linked by @rapenne-s worked.
