Well, how about giving us even the tinyest bit of information...

     WHAT COMMAND LINE ARE YOU RUNNING???


As a GUESS, try running make install.  It sounds like you are executing the
'ntop' temporary wrapper SCRIPT that is created by libtool.  That bad boy
tries to 'pretend' to execute ntop as if make install was run.  But there's
probably some interaction with your command line... like it doesn't like
redirection.

Do a
$ file ntop
ntop: Bourne shell script text executable

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's a bad thing

$ file /usr/bin/ntop
/usr/bin/ntop: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
