Additional info:

1) I found a link to a built 0.82 version at: https://support.eapps.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/442/28/mtr-for-mac-os-x

2) I found this article with a potential fix. http://blog.justus-beyer.de/2012/11/installing-my-traceroute-mtr-on-mac-os-x-mountain-lion/

Using this technique still gives an error:

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, but I want to start contributing useful feedback and maybe even small patches, but I can't do that if I can't even get it to compile initially. :)

If I go the route of THOSE instructions, I don't even get that far:

[.. configure configure configure ..]
checking for floor in -lm... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: in `/Users/derek.balling/Downloads/mtr-0.84':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Try this patch.

[Derek Balling (dredd)]

Antonio:

In my default scenario, that makes no change.

In my "revised" scenario, I still don't get past the configure as it is missing pkg-config (so the error says).

Hi, I solved the puzzle. I have several ways to make this.

1.- the preferred one:
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-gtk
export DEFS="-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H"
make --environment-overrides
sudo make install

2.- manually editing:
the problem are these lines in asn.c:
#ifdef HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H
#include <arpa/nameser_compat.h>
#endif

to include arpa/nameser_compat.h you need to pass HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H to the compiler.

the first way then is to edit asn.c and delete the line before and after the include, so the file is included everytime.
another way is to take the command that gives you an error:
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.18.1.1/include -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -MT asn.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/asn.Tpo -c -o asn.o asn.c
and include manually -DHAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H like this:
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.18.1.1/include -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -MT asn.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/asn.Tpo -c -o asn.o asn.c

I couldn't find a way to directly set HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H, so the first commands:
export DEFS="-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H"
make --environment-overrides
change the definition of DEFS, from the current DEFS="-DHAVE_CONFIG_H" to this command. If the default for DEFS changes, the commands have to change.

This still fails for me at the configure stage here:

<cut>
checking for GLIB... no
configure: error: in `/Users/derek.balling/src/mtr-0.85':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details
