I'm running 10.7.4 and have ip6_opt defined within
/usr/include/netinet/ip6.h

It is defined as,

struct ip6_opt {
        u_int8_t ip6o_type;
        u_int8_t ip6o_len;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

Here's the date stamp for this file,

aid at bullet:/usr/include$ ls -l netinet/ip6.h
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  11043 10 Apr 03:30 netinet/ip6.h

Lots of the build tools and libraries come with Xcode now on OS X.  Could
it be that you've got an older version of Xcode installed, with older
libraries?

My Xcode is 4.3.3 - installed from the AppStore.

Kind regards,

Adrian
