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. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lech Pankowski Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 7:10 AM To: [email protected] 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: SHUTDOWN(7) CLEANUP[t3086252576] catching thread is MAIN CLEANUP: Running threads CLEANUP: Locking purge mutex (may block for a little while) CLEANUP: Locked purge mutex, continuing shutdown CLEANUP: Continues PLUGIN_TERM: Unloading plugins (if any) CLEANUP: Clean up complete 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.
