RE: Newbie trying to make a makefile

There are plenty of previous postings regarding ping and Redhat 7.3.
Basically you need to compile netsaint with an older version of ping
(say from Redhat 7.2) in place instead of the Redhat 7.3 ping, as it has
a different format. Once compiled, you can then put the original Redhat
7.3 ping back in place and use the Nagios check_ping which will work
with the Redhat 7.3 ping format.

Subject: [netsaint] Newbie trying to make a makefile
 
Whenever I run the configure script it seems to go fine and then hangs
on and never gets past:
 
"checking for ping ... /bin/ping"
 
I have checked and ping is there, am I just totally missing something?
 
netsaint-0.0.7 running on RH7.3
 
thanks, John.
