Are you running gmake or make to run the compiles ? If you look through
the Makefile you should see the error if there is one. Otherwise you may
not be using the correct 'make' or 'gmake'.

Ntop is pretty picky about the versions of libs/deps it wants so I
suggest you compile and install the exact deps/versions it wants. 

Another question is are you using gcc ? Or cc ? I am not sure how well
ntop will even compile with the sun c compiler. If.h may be a header
file that It does not like for some reason since it is part of cc(?) and
not gcc(?)?.

While you run ./confgure ntop should tell you what libs it wants and
what libs you have.

Subject: [Ntop] Problem compiling ntop on Solaris 8 on Sparc


I apologize, as I am sure this has probably been addressed before, but I
did not find a solution to my problems in the FAQ, nor a Google search
(looking for archived mailing list posts on the subject).  I am positive
that others are using ntop on Solaris 8 /Sparc (and not the 1.3 version
on sunfreeware.com), so I hope someone can help me.

1. Attempting to build ntop 2.1.3, configure hangs at checking usability
of if.h.


2. Attempting to build ntop 2.1.90 or the 24 Mar '03 cvs snapshot, gets
through the configure stage, (if.h [and some others] are "unusable", but
configure completes)  make, however, gives the error:
Makefile:547: *** missing separator. Stop.


I saw something about some versions of autoconf/automake not working
with ntop sources, so I tried the latest versions (2.57/1.73), and some
older versions (2.52/1.63) and received the same make error.  I also
tried different versions of gnu make (3.79 which worked on my linux box,
and 3.80).

I tried disabling SSL and rdd support, but the make error was the same.

I had no problem with building on my Linux/x86 box, so the problem seems
to be Solaris/Sparc related.

gdbm-1.8.3
libpcap-0.7.2
openssl-0.9.7a
rrdtool-1.0.41 (using perl-5.8.0 compiled with the same compiler)
gcc-3.2.2


Regards,

Grant
