MTR (Matt's Traceroute)

Matt's Traceroute is one of the best traceroute/ping utilities I've ever found. But I couldn't install it on my new MacBook Pro :-(

I scoured their website http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ Matt's Tracereroute MTR and found a simple fix that worked. It was listed as a fix for version 0.56 on Mac OS X 10.3, but I took a shot and it fixed the install problem.

Download the latest mtr (as of now 0.71) from their site, and before you run configure, edit the dns.c file. Add the following line at the top of the #includes:

#include <nameser8_compat.h>

Then do your ./compile, then make, then make install (I used sudo for all of mine, but you may not have to).

Now you have your mtr compiled on your nice new Intel Mac.
