monit

I've installed a new Ubuntu 12.04 on an AWS EC2 instance and everything worked fine till now. I followed the instructions in this great tutorial: http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot-mysql/

Now i'm on the point "installing monit" and when i restart the service i get this error message now:

monit: Cannot translate '(none)' to FQDN name -- Name or service not known

I started googling and someone is writing there, that monit uses getaddrinfo in his startup-process to determine the hostname. Ok, so i thought i try out on myself what is getaddrinfo delivering, and then i got:

getaddrinfo: command not found

I guess, something is missing on my system. Can anyone help?
