Description
I was just testing some scripts building binary packages (using the DESTDIR) mechanism and I wondered why the moving of ping failed (the two ping progs wasn't created). I was using the current instructions and no ping was created so I added
--enable-ping
and
--enable-ping6
and than the programs were there. If the disabling of ping by intention then the book needs to be updated that ping{,6} isn't installed (as they are listed as installed programs) or otherwise the instructions needs to be updated that the ping pair gets created. Can you verify this?

Thanks for the fix, Thomas. Obviously, I did not look at the issue properly.
Closing the ticket.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I recently modified the inetutils instructions in BLFS to only install the servers, as everything else is already installed in LFS. I felt it redundant. I also put a comment in the "command explanations" that if you want the client programs to remove the --disable-clients line from the configure script.
I'll leave the ticket open for a couple of days in case anyone wants to comment, but discussion really belongs on -dev. This issue is not a defect. It is by design.
