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ntop 2.1 is outdated.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

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

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 out
of date software and 2.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.

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
