The problem has nothing to do with fping's makefile. OSF (At least version
3.0 doesn't come with libsocket).
The problem lies in this line of fping.c:
u_long ipaddress = inet_addr(host);
this should actually be:
u_int ipaddress = inet_addr(host);
This change allows fping to work properly with our machine (OSF 3.0).
Being an honest man, I would like to point out that August Wohlt
(wohlt_at_eniac.seas.upenn.edu) helped me find this "bug/feature/os
quirk". Sorry if this doesn't read like a standard bug report, as I
have never written one before.
Cheers,
Roman
PS: Hope this came in time for the release of satan
