Did you read the documentation for inet_pton?
The return value of inet_pton is not an array, but an integer
that specifies whether the second argument was a valid address (1)
or not (0 or -1). Also, the & in &addr is redundant because addr is
an array.  You probably want something like:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

int main(void)
{  
  unsigned char addr[16];
  if (1 == inet_pton(AF_INET6, "1234:12::ffff", addr))
  {
    /* valid address, print the converted value */
    size_t i;
    for (i = 0; i != sizeof addr; ++i)
    {
      printf("%0x", addr[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");
  }
  return 0;
}
