ntop compiles fine but does not run because it incorrectly detect version of libevent as inferior to 1.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. merge ntop 2. update libevent to the last stable version (which is >= 2.0) 2. set an ntop password as required 2. /etc/init.d/ntop start 3. tail /var/log/syslog to see ntop log Actual Results: ntop refuses to start because of libevent version < 1.4 Expected Results: ntop runs because installed version (2.0.10) is > 1.4 I found this patch : https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/28457/initialize.c.diffs which correctly detect installed libevent, and so allow ntop to run. Tested on x86 platform.
ew, that code in ntop should be removed entirely and not patched at all. It looks like version 4.0.1 does the right thing.
Can't we stabilize 4.0.1 yet? *ntop-4.0.1 (24 Sep 2010) 24 Sep 2010; Alin Năstac <mrness@gentoo.org> +ntop-4.0.1.ebuild, +files/ntop-4.0.1-gentoo.patch: Version bump (#329577).
I've been using ntop 4.0.1 with libevent 2.0.10 with no problems for over a month. (amd64 system)
OK, this is fixed in version >4 which is going stable.
