I had assumed you were doing a static installation, following the instructions in docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt.
I updated the faq, but really, running "make install" is pretty normal as part of installing any package from source. It's a libpng issue, not ntop... WRT RedHat, what makes it so difficult - and worth the careful instructions - is that most RedHat users only understand (barely) rpms. And installing from an rpm means you don't run make install (yourself) - it's all hidden from you. That's why it's such a PITA to manually update a package - it's both totally new and yet you really don't know (unless you look carefully) what's already there! I have both worlds, since Tigger is a RedHat box (as was Eyore), while Pooh (and formerly Piglet) are Linux from Scratch. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: Chris Nicola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 4:07 PM To: Burton M. Strauss III Subject: RE: [Ntop] Snapshot 14-5-2002 Alright. My problem was a little different than the one in the FAQ but I did solve it. Because I had installed 2.0.1 and it had used the older Libpng. The old header file was still in /usr/include. Running make install after make'ing the new libpng solves this problem. Probably a good idea to add it to the installation instructions. Hope this helps anyone else with this problem. In fact I imaging the same technique should work for people with the Redhat problem.

I thought I would add it. I went through the Makefiles looking for references to libpng-1.0.8 and there was only one and I corrected it. Still doesn't work. Anyone else seen this?

I had a problem on mine when I installed it with it linking to the older version of .png but installing the newer one. How did you get around this? Did you simply compile the older version that was included instead? I would like to use the newer versions if possible.
