Does ntop 3.1 work for you? There had been some internal rewrites in 3.2
ntop-3.2 had built fine for me on multiple boxes, but not 3.2-r1
Created attachment 78971 [details, diff] Patch for snmpPlugin.c to fix USE="-ipv6 snmp" compilation problem. Bug is reproduceable with both snmp and -ipv6 in USE flags. snmpPlugin.c does not have necessary #ifdef INET6 ... #endif blocks around Ip6Address part of structure. I can suggest two possible solutions: 1. Apply attached here patch. But this is quick fix not coming from upstream. Although it works for me I need somebody to try it first. You need also apply comming in next comment, as it is not possible to compile both ntop with ipv6 flag and net-snmp without ipv6 flag, and reverse. 2. May be we should drop snmp support without ipv6 in USE flags and report upstream about problem. I can fix ebuild to disable snmp support if we do not have ipv6 in use flags.
Created attachment 78972 [details, diff] Patch for ntop-3.2-r1.ebuild to enable snmpPlugin.patch. So what is better solution here?
With regard to the second solution, if you go that route: instead of dropping the snmp flag if -ipv6 is set, you should make the ebuild fail so that the user knows what is going on. Something of this sort would be more appropriate: pkg_setup() { if (! use ipv6 && use snmp ); then eerror "snmp without ipv6 is broken" die "snmp without ipv6 is broken" fi }
Upstream states that snmpPlugin is under development and it is not good to use on production server. There is lack of documentation about it also. Thus I see no reasons to fix sources now. I've reported about problem upstream so may be next versions of ntop will not have such problem. For now... ntop-3.2-r1.ebuild fixed. Thanks for reporting.
