Read docs/FAQ - That message almost always has the cause listed in the log,
further explained in docs/FAQ... 

FWIW, since you succeeded with ./configure and make, you ALREADY have gdbm
installed!  If the binary was missing, you would see a loader error.

Subject: [Ntop] GDBM open failed

Hallo,
I would like to ask for advice concerning the following problem:

Trying to run 'ntop' I have fetched the code and compiled it according to
description at
     http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html        (Aurox 11 environment)
The only warning during compilation was:

"   WARNING: One or more items required for the xmldump plugin are missing:
 libxml2.so or libxml2.a...yes
 gdome.h...no
 libgdome.so or libgdome.a...no
 glib.h...no
 libglib.so or libglib.a...no
 glibconfig.h...no
.............
 ntop will run just fine without this plugin..."


                         Unfortunately, after  '#  ./ntop'  there is a
message:

NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Initializing gdbm databases
**ERROR** ....open of /usr/local/var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed: File open
error Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>'
**FATAL_ERROR** GDBM open failed, ntop shutting down...
CLEANUP[t3086252576]: ntop caught signal 2

THREADMGMT[t3086252576]: ntop RUNSTATE: TERM(8)
===================================
                ntop is shutdown...
===================================


I don't know what to do. Should I install database server at my host? Make 
some changes in ntop configuration? At first I just wanted to listen to the 
network traffic without making any complicated statistics etc.

Many thanks in advance for every remark,
L. Pankowski
