I had a very similar problem on FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 a few weeks ago,
although didn't go through the ports patch procedure. Gary had me pull
the current svn version, which has worked fine. Seems what tarball you
pick up can matter. If I remember correctly, the svn version doesn't
come with GeoIP, or download the various pattern files automatically,
but that was all easy to deal with.

decided to try ntop 3.4-pre3 on freebsd 7.1 amd64 due to 'issues' I
have seen with freebsd.
needed some (lots) of patching to get it to compile, most of the hints
I took from the freebsd ports patches files.
but, I am stuck on either not getting display (http process hung), and
getting a display, but not getting anything captured.
http gets hung if I apply this patch: (from freebsd ports patches)

but it I DON' apply the patch, I get no capture (nothing seen, yes,
worked with ntop 3.3) tried with built in pcap and ports pcap.
(some discussion on this patch:

ntop 3.3.9 worked, but ntop 3.3.10 hung (both freebsd ports).
anyone running 3.4 on freebsd 7? and what did you do?
