Description
Repeatable failure: MacPRO:~ johnhall$ mtr Error decoding localhost address mtr: Failure to start mtr-packet: Invalid argument === Machine: MacPRO 5,1 running High Sierra 10.13.6
Loopback: MacPRO:~ johnhall$ ifconfig lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384

localhost: MacPRO:~ johnhall$ head /etc/hosts ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost
Firewall in on in steath mode, but mtr returns the same result with stealth mode off.
With stealth mode off I can ping localhost, but obviously not with it on.

You clearly don't have mtr @0.93_1 installed. As I posted earlier, the patched version (0.93 revision 1) works correctly.
comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by JohnFHall (John Hall)
If you say its fixed, then 0.93_1 should be here for us macports users. If not, it isnt't fixed... for me.

It is. Did you run sudo port sync sometime in the last 10 hours? It takes more the 90 minutes for these updates to show in the PortIndex.
The updated version is available: https://packages.macports.org/mtr/

Thank you for your perseverence with a grumpy old user. Yes, sync did the trick and the 0.93_1 source installs and works well.
Thank you again, John
mtr 0.93 is broken on MacOS and the macports port should be reverted to 0.92 asap. The matter is fixed on mtr github tree but not in a released version (discussed here: https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/issues/313 ).
