If you use

o bind-8.2.2p7 - ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.2.2-P7/

or later, you have to change configure to autodetect res_init(). I also
call configure like this

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/bind/include" LIBS="-L/usr/local/bind/lib -lbind" ./configure  >> CONFIGURE-LOG 2>&1

because that's where I have my bind stuff installed.

The following patch lets mtr at least compile (with or without gtk support
depends if you have the gtk stuff installed).

Anyway my compiled version doesn't work. It starts up fine in both the ncurses and gtk version
but nothing happens. maybe you have more luck.
