gre traceroute patch


I downloaded a traceroute patch pptp-traceroute.patch. How do I install this patch? I also tried a .diff file but I do not know what to do with that also. As you can tell I need as much help as possible.

You would apply the patch to the source code of traceroute and then re-compile traceroute. For instance, from within the traceroute source directory, and with the .patch file one directory above:

patch -Np1 -i ../pptp-traceroute.patch

Then go ahead and run the following normal old:

./configure
make
make install

If the patch is called pptp... then are you doing this to overcome some pier to pier difficulties to get traceroute to work with your connection? If so, you might just want to try:

traceroute -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yahoo.com

where the x's are your IP. That will force the trace to come back to your IP and not fiddle about with using reverse DNS.

-Cheers,
