Wow! That's an understatement! What I eventually did was take the source rpm from rpmforge and rebuild it. I found that patched the source I had properly, and the resulting fping6 works. (I had not actually rebuilt an rpm before, so I guess this does turn out to be a learning experience.) I do have that fping6 binary happily ping6'ing my IPv6 hosts. Thanks for giving me enough information that I was able to puzzle it! P. S. Ken's idea looks good, too, I assume his fping6 works. :-) He's also right about using yum priorities; I only enable rpmforge to install particular packages, and only when the prereqs don't conflict. Thanks to you all. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
