Errors in compiling mtr.

[Greg Lucas]

Hi All,

I'm trying to compile mtr and I'm on 10.7.5 and getting the following errors:

Making install in img
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign curses.o -o mtr mtr.o net.o dns.o raw.o split.o display.o report.o getopt.o getopt1.o select.o -lm -ltermcap

I'm on a 64bit platform, is the the issue?

I think there is a library reference missing on the commandline. -lbind or something like that.

(the quick fix is to copy-paste the "gcc" line and then add "-lbind" at the end to see if that helps.

Patch is welcome. It would need to do some autoconf magic for this to be used automatically.
