Redhat 5.4 64bit fping-2.4b2_to
FYI.
For those who have scratched their heads for hours like me.
Redhat 5.4 64bit - if you want to build the latest fping. Do the following,
tar zxvf fping.tar.gz
cd fping-2.4b2_to
./configure
vi Makefile
- search for and change:
CFLAGS = -g -O2
to
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -m32
then save the file and 'make install'.
This will compile fping as a 32bit application running on 64bit OS.
PS: you may need, yum -y install glibc-devel
Hope this helps someone because it had me wondering for hours.
I could ping using the usual ping to the outside world no problems however fping wouldn't get past my gateway. After compiling in 32bit mode all is good.
Cheers
Byron
