Hi,
I would sincerely appreciate it if someone would point me in the
direction of instructions for compiling ntop against PF_RING or perhaps
offer an idea or two about what I might try next to solve the problem
I've described below.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting ntop to compile with PF_RING support.
PF_RING is installed with the associated kernel module, libpfring, and
libpcap files under /opt/PF_RING/lib and headers in /opt/PF_RING/include.
After the
./autogen.sh --noconfig
I run a ./configure with the extra option
--with-pcap-root=/opt/PF_RING
to hopefully clue in ntop to the presence of libpfring and the
pfring-linked libpcap.
The configure runs successfully.
Running "make" fails until I switch a couple of cases of this in
Makefile from
-L /opt/PF_RING/lib
to
-L/opt/PF_RING/lib
(The space between -L and /opt/PF_RING/lib makes libtool complain and
abort.)
After fixing that, "make" is successful.
However while "ldd .libs/ntop" shows libpfring.so getting linked in
right, it also shows ntop linked to the stock libpcap, not the PF_RING
one in /opt/PF_RING/lib
libpfring.so => /opt/PF_RING/lib/libpfring.so (0x00007f9213c35000)
libpcap.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1 (0x00007f92139fe000)
When I fire up ntop, no rings are allocated, presumably because the
wrong libpcap is being used.
Please advise. I would be happy to provide further details if that
would be helpful.
Thanks,
Kevin Branch
