>Description:

After editing the libnet build so that the manpages are installed in the right 
place, and editing the arping Makefile so that there is an OPSYS==IRIX target 
specified, the arping build fails because the linker can't find a symbol named 
libnet_get_hwaddr.

Sure enough, neither the library stored in .buildlinks or the one in 
{root}/lib/libnet.so actually exports this symbol (according to nm).

Is arping trying to use an older API to libnet?
>How-To-Repeat:
cd net/arping && bmake install
>Fix:

I'm assuming this is a libnet problem (for not exporting the symbol) rather 
than a arpign one (for using it) - but it may be that arping is using 
deprecated functions...

In any case, one of the packages needs updating to reflect the current 
situation.

(P.S. If the package maintainer wants to fix the manpages bug (Makefile.in 
should read "MAN_PREFIX  =   @mandir@/man3/") in libnet and the lack of an IRIX 
target in arping, that'd be peachy ;)
