PATH_PROCNET_DEV is defined in 'paths' within inetutils.
If I run configure (no arguments, just trying to debug this problem)
and grep for PATH_PROCNET_DEV I see that it gets defined in several
Makefiles, including
./ifconfig/Makefile:PATHDEV_PROCNET_DEV = -DPATH_PROCNET_DEV=\"/proc/net/dev\"
So I have to assume that you did something odd when running
configure, but I have no idea what. We disable things, but if you
disabled ifconfig it would not attempt to build. And if you used
odd values for --prefix or --localstatedir that would be unlikely to
prevent it building.
I suggest that you delete the extracted directory, untar it again,
run configure as in the book, and then
find -type f | xargs grep 'PATH_PROCNET_DEV'
to confirm it appears in several of hte Makefiles.
