I wonder why he didn't contact upstream. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/net/fping/file s/patch-02/ contains: 8<----------- -#define IPV6 1 /* This should be a compiler option, or even better be done from the Makefile... ;) */ ---------->8 Which makes me aware of something obvious: wrong patch.
