[Click] Trying to install new element

[Anthony G Persaud]

I'm trying to install the new element mmarpwaitrandom. I placed it in
the elements directory, and recompiled the click router, and it seems to
pick it up, but it says I'm missing the header information for
'elements/mmarp/mmarp.hh'. Does anyone know which file this is since I
looked all over the distribution but did not find the file. I am trying
to compile click1.4pre1.

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated,

Thanks,

I have created a new element that add a random packet delay to each
packet 
before send it to the interface.

This is the code. I hope this could help you!!!
