Bugzilla Bug 111557

The ugly configure script autodetects glib-1. zlib and libxml2 are not listed
as
dependencies.

ntop-3.2 has proper dependency tracking

or not! configure.in is broken when it comes to options like --with-zlib or
--with-ssl (it actually interprets --with as --without and vice-versa). 

The reversed options are:
 --with-ssl
 --with-zlib
 --enable-snmp
 --enable-ipv6

Configure is definately broken:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-ipv6 --enable-i18n --disable-snmp --with-ssl
--enable-sslv3 --disable-sslwatchdog --with-tcpd --without-zlib
--build=i386-pc-linux-gnu

Builds without ssl

--enable-sslv3 is the conflicting flag.

or --with-ssl on the other hand. I'm assuming this is v2 support.

Alin, have you notified upstream about this problem?

I've just did, with a CC to you.

ive already posted upstream and had them fix it so there's no point in you guys
also posting stuff

fixed up the patch used in portage to handle the inverted options
