While I asked the lindows team to fix: >>correct this libpng library version mismatch, and please use the new version of ntop 2.2 because ntop 2.1 is outdated.<<
(May be following a tip for Lindows team ) So I tried to install NTOP version 2.2.0 myself and succeeded this install with the following actions without having the libpng workaround to implement, so the libpng library version mismatch is solved in this Ntop 2.2.0 debian package. 1) Deinstalled Ntop 2.1.0 via CNR-Uninstall 2) Downloaded via http://mirrors/geekbone.org/debian/pool/main/n/top ntop_2.2.0-5_i386.deb 3) Trying to install ntop-2.2.0 I got dependency errors : Package libgdbm3 is not installed. Package libpcap0.7 is not installed. Package librrd0 is not installed. 4) Installed via CNR librrd0 (version 1.0.39) 5) Get via http://packages.debian.org libgdbm3_1.8.3-1_i386.deb libpcap0.7_0.7.2-1_i386.deb installed above packages dpkg -i libgdbm3_1.8.3-1_i386.deb dpkg -i libpcap0.7_0.7.2-1_i386.deb 6) Installed ntop debian package: dpkg -i ntop_2.2.0-5_i386.deb ( during this install fill in the questions required for configuration of Ntop) 7) Successful done Jac -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of jac engel Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 10:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] Tip for Ntop on LINDOWS 4.0 Burton, Thanks , I already informed the lindows team. libpng.so.2 was linked to version 1.0.12 libpng.so.3 is linked to version 1.2.5 now libpng.so.2 is also linked to version 1.2.5 ( Ntop uses libpng.so.2 ?) cheers Jac -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Burton M. Strauss III Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2003 14:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] Tip for Ntop on LINDOWS 4.0 Be aware that lying about the libpng version via ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2 could potentially cause loads of other problems. As we've discussed previously, not only is .3 a different interface from .2 (which is how it's supposed to work), but the program is not upwards compatible - hence the error message. What you're doing is claiming to implement the .3 interface but in reality implementing .2 -- this works for anything that expects .2, but anything expecting .3 will now fail horribly... The RIGHT answer is to: 1. Compile ntop from source, so that the expected run environment matches the real one and/or 2. Contact the Lindows distributor and get them to fix their errors (1. out of date software and 2. libpng library version mismatch). There's a lot of history in the list on this specific problem. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of jac engel Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 4:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] Tip for Ntop on LINDOWS 4.0 Using Lindows version 4.0.302-Final. When you installed the network monitor NTOP version 2.1 from CNR, do the following first: start ntop first to enter the admin password with command: /usr/sbin/ntop -A and enter the password. Start ntop now with command : /etc/init.d/ntop start When you start the browser with http://localhost:3000 you will get console errors when accessing charts and the charts are not displayed. The error is: libpng warning:Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.5 libpng warning:Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.0.12 gd-png: fatal libpng error:Incompatible libpng version in application and library To get rid of the errors do the following: cd /usr/lib rm libpng.so.2 ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2 Now NTOP is working fine, to start ntop at startup make links to /etc/init.d/ntop in /etc/rc5.d e.g : cd /etc/rc5.d ln -s ../init.d/ntop S99ntop Goodluck with this nice networkmonitor program Jac _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
