The interesting thing is that if you run ldd on /usr/sbin/ntop you
will notice that it have the following line in it:
        libgd.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.2 (0xb7b34000)

No reference to that file.

Do I do not really understand this. Or is it ntop itself that do this
check maybe. I have arways thought that it was ld ... I'll check that
out now.

Aha! Here we have something.

globals-defines.h:#define CONST_LIBGD_SO                      "libgd.so"

Maybe that can be changed to libgd.so.2 ...

I'll cc the ntop development list for advice on this matter.
