Since I found that both "-c" and "-sticky-hosts" do not appear to work for
me, I thought I would change the values of some of the variables in
globals-defines.h to make ntop work the way I wanted without those options.
I started by first only uncommenting one line, line 161. That line is:
define PARM_SESSION_PURGE_MINIMUM_IDLE 10*60
I did not change the value (10*60) or make any other changes to the file.
I only removed the one single "#" symbol in front of that line.
When I ran make I received the following for output.
<Begin Output>

<End Output>
I then went to ntop.h and found lines 489 and 490 commented out so I
uncommented those as well to read:
include "globals-defines.h"
include "globals-structtypes.h"
As you can imagine programming is not even close to being one of my skills,
but I have a feeling that was not the thing to do as it only produced many
more errors when I ran make.
Any ideas on why uncommenting a line in globals-defines.h would produce such
an error. I would have thought they were meant to be uncommented so end
users can easily make changes by changing a parameter value and recompiling.
Since the original unmodified program compiled fine, I would also think I
had all the correct library files etc. ??
This is the Linux 3.3.8 version of ntop running on Slackware with GNU Make
3.81.
Thanks.
