Dear Emanuele,

As you may see from the README file of IRRToolSet-4.8.1 (I suppose this is the one you tried to compile),
it says that prtraceroute is not yet ported to support RPSLng.

The only tools from IRRToolSet-4.8.x are re-implemented for RPSLng:
RtConfig
rpslcheck
peval

If you need prtraceroute but do not need RPSLng, please use the older version 4.7.3.

P.S. MPPrefixRanges is on of the numerous new classes appeared in RPSLng branch of the software, and
not all tools have been reimplemented even to compile (yet).
