I don't know what slax is.  InetUtils will enable and use IPv6 if it
detects that it is present on your system.  Use 'grep IPV6 config.h' to
find out if it detected IPv6, the output should contain this:

#define HAVE_IPV6 1
#define IPV6 1

The self test requires that the IPv6 loopback interface is available.
