I think a lot has to do with the intricacies of the RH system 7.x vs. 8 vs. 9 and whether it's a fresh install, an upgrade, etc. - if somebody who really, really understands rpms wants to take over creating them, I'll happily post their work product. Historically, nobody will, so y'all are stuck with me...
The ntop.spec file works for me and for lots of users - there's 18K downloads of the ntop 2.2 rpm from SourceForge. So for most people it's working fine! Right now, I build on ur-tigger which is a UML Linux box hosted on Tigger which is running RedHat 8.0. uname -a for ur-tigger shows: Linux ur-tigger.gateway.2wire.net 2.4.19-5um #2 Mon Sep 16 15:41:15 EDT 2002 i686 unknown, i.e. RedHat 7.3 with a 2.4.19 kernel. Specifically 1. Maybe - depends on whether you install the rpm or from source. 2. The names seem to change depending on factors I don't really understand. Sometimes they have the host type, others they don't. Again, the ntop.spec file works for me to build the rpms I post @ SourceForge. That it doesn't work on other versions of RedHat is - to me - of academic interest but irrelevant. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kenneth Porter Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 4:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] Bug in ntop.spec --On Saturday, July 26, 2003 07:05:09 AM -0500 "Burton M.

Note a couple of things not related to rrdtool: 1) The pcap headers are in /usr/include, not /usr/include/pcap, on a RH8 system. 2) The binary and man page don't need to be renamed from i386-redhat-linux-ntop. They were already built as just 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
