I just tried latest version s20190324 (manually compiled) and it doesn't have this issue. It has this line in configure which probably makes difference Checking if "struct icmp6_nodeinfo" compiles: NO So workaround for me was to install latest ipuitils to /usr/local
Closing as obsolete as affected version is gone now.
