Salvatore,
I understand you know how "rpm -i" works. Therefore it's time to use a few more commands that will allow you to help me testing the latest ntop while providing you a working ntop.


1. go to http://www.ntop.org/download.html and download ntop using CVS
2. cd <the directory where you download the code via CVS>
3. ./configure
4. make

Enjoy, Luca

Bad.

Glibc is the library which contains most of the functions used by c
programs, i.e. most of the system level code. It's rarely compatible at the
API level, so if you ignore it, you'll either get error messages like you
have, or (worse - code that doesn't check) - strange crashes and problems...


You can update your glibc - download the packages from redhat, chasing any
dependencies. Start by downloading glibc itself and try to update your
system. It will fail with lots of dependencies. Download those updates and
try again. Eventually you end up with a set of package updates that rpm
will accept.


On my minimal RH8 development system, the dependencies show as:

$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6

$ rpm -q --whatrequires glibc
authconfig-4.2.12-3
ppp-2.4.1-7
timeconfig-3.2.9-1
glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80.6
glibc-utils-2.3.2-4.80.6
IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-3.0

Or you can just download the source and build ntop from that, which may be
easier.

Hi, I have made the installation of rrdtool using the option -- nodeps and
therefore they are successful to install it, but when I execute ntop I have
the message of following error:


ntop : /lib/i686/libthread.so.0: version 'GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required
by /usr/lib/libntopreport-2.2.so)
ntop : /lib/i686/libthread.so.0: version 'GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required
by /usr/lib/libntop-2.2.so)


also I have read your answer to an other similar question and therefore I
have made the following controls:


ls -l libssl*

libssl3.so
libssl.a
libssl.so --> ../../lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b

rpm -q openssl -l | grep libssl

/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b

rpm -q --whatprovides /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b

openssl-0.9.6b-29

but where mistake? thanks for the patience!

Ciao, sto cercando di installare ntop (ultima versione stabile) ma quando
provo ad installare rrdtool ottengo un messaggio di errore relativo alla
dipendenza al pacchetto perl(Net::SNMP).
Io per� ho installato sia net-snmp.5.0.1.6 che net-snmp-5.0.6-8.80.2, dove
sbaglio ?
Grazie per l'attenzione ed il tempo prestato.
Saluti.
