../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2583: error

• A brief description
  I'm trying to install Qt in WSL using the installer.
  It starts to download the packages but it crashs with the error.
  I've checked other posts (check /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts) with no success.
• Expected results
  No error
• Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)

If you're going to use a free X server, I suggest vcXsrv, although according to some sources, Colin Harrison's new versions of Xming (which are donationware) on his website straightrunning support hardware-accelerated AIGLX rendering through WGL (I donated to get a copy before I found out about vcXsrv, but I haven't tested AIGLX mode yet).

Ref #1202, #1113, #614 (and friends). This probably fixed in concert with #982. Unfortunately there is no good landing zone for the (partial?) IPv6 improvements done since the OP. In any event, the same gettaddrinfo() manifestation used to happen with sshd as well, and doesn't in recent releases. If the problem persists in recent versions of Qt please re-open a new issue.
