Hi!

I run Slackware 8.0 (full install) on several machines, and have not been 
able to compile ntop successfully on any of them. The problem appears like 
this:

libtool: link: CURRENT `-release' is not a nonnegative integer
libtool: link: `-release' is not valid version information
make[2]: *** [libntop.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/progs/ntop/current/ntop-current/ntop'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/progs/ntop/current/ntop-current/ntop'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

The problem seems to be that the script libtool in the top directory expects 
a release number as the second command line parameter, but receives the 
string "-release" instead. I don't know which value that is correct, but 
since we're talking about ntop 2.0 it seems likely the the value should be 2.

The soloution (until somebody in the development team fixes the problem) is 
to edit line 1923 of libtool that looks like this:

current="$2"

so that it reads:

current="2"

(The $2 is replaced by 2.)

For your reference, the next two lines should be (in case line 1923 is unique 
for my system):

revision="$3"
age="$4"

I haven't run ntop at any higher loads, but it works in my test environment 
with the above change.
