Look in the configure / configure.in (that's probably easier to read) to see where ntop is expecting to find the files. Maybe just create a link for the few it needs?

At least I think it is offtopic. I browsed the archive and did not see too much about compiling. Probably because you all know so much more than I do. I also read the FAQ and the FAQ at http://snapshot.ntop.org/faq.php I hope I did not miss the answer. I am a mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, cretin. If I knew what I am doing I would be running <insert your favorite OS here>. Trying to compile I get: Step 6. Looking for required GPLed libraries.... checking for LBL Packet Capture Library (required package)... found in /usr/local checking for gdbm.h... no checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... no checking for gdbm_close in -lgdbm... no *** FATAL ERROR *** I do have gdbm, but I installed it with fink so it is in /sw [fred:/tmp/ntop-2.1.2/ntop] root# locate gdbm /sw/include/gdbm.h /sw/lib/libgdbm.2.0.0.dylib /sw/lib/libgdbm.2.dylib /sw/lib/libgdbm.a /sw/lib/libgdbm.dylib /sw/lib/libgdbm.la /sw/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/gdbm.so /sw/lib/python2.2/test/test_gdbm.py /sw/lib/python2.2/test/test_gdbm.pyc /sw/lib/python2.2/test/test_gdbm.pyo /sw/libexec/rep/0.14/powerpc-apple-darwin/gdbm.la /sw/libexec/rep/0.14/powerpc-apple-darwin/gdbm.so /sw/libexec/rep/0.14/powerpc-apple-darwin/rep/io/db/gdbm.la /sw/libexec/rep/0.14/powerpc-apple-darwin/rep/io/db/gdbm.so I'm thinking I could install gdbm from source so it goes where ntop expects it or I could create links (not that I would know which files to link. What is the easiest way to get this working? Can I tell the compiler where to find the libraries? Will ntop need them later and be able to find them. I hate not knowing what I'm doing :-( Many thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ntop.org/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ntop.org/mailman/listinfo/ntop
