[SOLVED] Can't connect unless using a browser?

After having problems with my network in general, fixed by disabling ipv6, I now can't get things like the checkmail conky script to work, if I try, it hangs on something such as the following:
Connecting to fpdownload.macromedia.com|1.0.0.0|:80...
Connecting to mail.google.com|1.0.0.0|:443...
and never connects.

maybe conky relies on IPv6? I am betting money it does.

I could be wrong though.

It didn't work when it was enabled. It's not conky, just the scripts I use to check my gmail and those shouldn't need anything like ipv6, just a working connection.

Is that "1.0.0.0" there supposed to be an IP adress? Show all your network-related configs, from rc.conf, resolv.conf, /etc/hosts...

This problem is not related to package building. Please change the the topic.

EDIT - while building ALSA today I reinstalled gettext as well as patch (though I doubt that'd matter) and it seems to have fixed it.
