You really ought to read up as to how your system actually works before
doing this... what you have here is a major-number library difference -
you cannot just make a symlink and expect it to work.  There is a
reason why the new version ends in .4 and not in .2 or .3 - the API is
incompatible, and you cannot use these libraries interchangeably.

The correct thing to do is to rebuild ntop against the new libraries -
you will need to make sure that the proper .so links are set to point
the linker at the right version of the libraries - having redhat's
"-devel" packages installed should take care of that.

Then again, it may be a moot point to try to run ntop 2.2 on Redhat 9.0
or SuSE 8.2 anyway, due to the glibc 2.3.x issues.  I'd wait for the
next stable release, since I believe the issue is being worked on... or
run 2.1.  or run an older distro (SuSE 8.1 is quite nice).
