Hi Michael,

    there is a special make that needs to be done to install 'pinger.'
it's documented in the 1.1.9 Release Notes:

If you want your Squid cache to measure RTT's to origin servers,
    Squid must be compiled with the USE_ICMP option. This is easily
    accomplished by uncommenting "-DUSE_ICMP=1" in src/Makefile and
    src/Makefile.in.

    An external program called 'pinger' is responsible for sending and
    receiving ICMP packets. It must run with root privileges. After
    Squid has been compiled, the pinger program must be installed
    separately. A special Makefile target will install 'pinger' with
    appropriate permissions.

        % make install
        % su
        # make install-pinger
