Actually, I would like to know why ntop cares? If you link it against the local version of the library everything should be fine. Ntop shouldn't need to keep it's own copy of libraries (i.e. zlib and gdchart) and should use the default ones already installed. Or, if they're not installed, installing them should be a prerequisite. Linking statically takes up disk space that could be used elsewhere. That's why shared libraries were invented in the first place. So, can anyone answer me why ntop includes gdchart, libpng, and zlib? Didn't anyone learn anything about the recent zlib vulnerability?
