building 4.3.10 on RHEL6
I've got fping in /usr/local/sbin/fping, and the configure.server
script found it, so I assume these errors are spurious?

chown root /home/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /home/xymon/server/bin/fping6
|| echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing"
chown: cannot access `/home/xymon/server/bin/fping4': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access `/home/xymon/server/bin/fping6': No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing
chmod 4755 /home/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /home/xymon/server/bin/fping6
|| echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing"
chmod: cannot access `/home/xymon/server/bin/fping4': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/home/xymon/server/bin/fping6': No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing

then xymonnet failed with

Error output:
Could not run the command '/usr/local/bin/fping -Ae' (exec failed)
Command '/usr/local/bin/fping' failed: No such file or directory

a link fixed that, but I would have expected it to be looking in the
correct place
