[Nagiosplug-help] Error: Could not interpret output from ping command

[Cook, Garry]

Check_icmp does not appear to be distributed with the Nagios Plugins.
I've just downloaded the latest CVS tarball and can't locate it. Where
can I find this plugin?

Also, I saw some posts a few weeks ago that said this plugin produced
performance data that was not properly formatted. Is this still the
case?
