The thing is that a simple ./configure changes my /dev/null. It seems to happen by the means of ltconfig. In fact, if I dig into the configure's log I can see:
...
loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig
...
and then:


./ltconfig: .: /dev/null: not a regular file

out to the stderr.

After this /dev/null get changed.

This happens BEFORE any make ...

BTW my shell is bash:

#bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.9)

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

Subject: [Ntop-dev] Solaris 9 Sparc /dev/null problem


Hi all, I've noticed a problem configuring ntop with both 3.0 and the latest CVS (I'm not sure, but this applies even to the 2.2 ...). Before running a configure I have:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         25 Mar 26 14:03 /dev/null ->
/devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:null

When as root I start configure it cries this way:

./ltconfig: .: /dev/null: not a regular file

and after I get:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root other 0 Mar 26 14:07 /dev/null

If I don't fix the problem manually I get an instable host which
cannot mount /proc in a reboot and therefore hangs in limbo.

I've seen someone posted the same problem a while ago, but the
unfortunate got no answer ...
Cheers,

Leonardo
