Where can I find compilable/executable Ping source code

Where can I find compilable source code for the Ping program? I have seen some Ping.c source code, but I cannot compile it because I do not have and cannot find all of the needed header files. I would like to tailor the output of the ping program for an evolutionary algorithm that I am working on. I am running a recent version of Red Hat Linux.
Thanks,
Todd

Then install them. Probably installing the "glibc-devel....rpm" package will do.

Like Hko said, just install them. Most of them are standard files. You find the source and the story about the program from the guy who created it. click here

go to www.kohala.com/~rstevens
get the unix network programming volume 1 ed 2 source code.
I think the file is an acronym along those lines, unpv1...
What you want is in the ping directory.
The source is 5 years old, you'll need to edit one to two files
for things to compile properly.
