Latest sources available at > http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/. But if you look at them, you will see that the latest version of xntp3* is almost a year old. Their latest stuff is the ntp4 versions and that compiles just fine except for the heads up that I posted. If you really want to use xntp3, you can just ignore that error, because ntptime is only usefull for people experimenting with local clocks or you can use the one that comes with ntp4 which was fixed.
