In your web page, you have this...

find gdbm.
>>Okay, first I "make distclean".
>>Now let's tell ntop where gdbm is.
./configure --with-gdbm-root=/root/ntop/gdbm-1.8.0.
>>Well, I have not idea what happened there! I just made and installed gdbm,
and it says there is something wrong? I'm confused.
>>Maybe if I try to enable the debug.
./configure --enable-debug --with-gdbm-root=/root/ntop/gdbm-1.8.0"
>>Same error there.
>>Last ditch effort, I'll let ntop try to find gdbm itself, but enable debug
anyway. ./configure --enable-debug
>>I enable debug and it doesn't make any executable at all. I tell it where
gdbm is and it does not like it. I let it do everything by itself, and it
makes an executable, but that executable doesn't work. Do you know what's
going on?

I'm afraid you're simply suspecting - and most likely incorrectly -
something unfamiliar.   If you follow the instructions in BUILD-NTOP.txt, it
knows exactly where gdbm is.  And if ntop was having trouble with the
database, you would see more messages (you do see the GDBM initialized
message in your log, right?).

Here's my log:

Notice the "ntop v.2.0.1 CVS Feb 18 14:21" - that tells me what I'm running

What you don't say *anywhere* is which version of the source you
downloaded... but it looks like you have ntop v.2.0.0

1. If (as I suspect), it's the 2.0 release, try one of the later snapshots -
15Feb is one I've been recommending.  Get them from
http://snapshot.ntop.org/  (wget
http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/ntop-02-02-15.tgz)

2. Run ntop under gdb and capture the output.  I've posted how to the list
before, I'll just cut & paste that into the FAQs (also at snapshot).

When it bombs under gdb, grab the stuff I indicate and post that...

Subject: [Ntop-dev] ntop2.0

First I'd like to say that I love this program, and it is truely amazing
what it can do.  I had it working for about 2 weeks, and then for some
reason it stopped.  Since then it will not work no matter what I do.  I have
completely logged EVERY step that I took to configure and build everything
even remotely related to ntop.  I think the problem lies somewhere with my
gdbm(1.8.0).  Please help me!
A complete set of logs my config/make logs can be found at
http://134.53.212.81/ntop
I also give a little more information about my problem.
If this message should have have gone to ntop-dev, then please forward it to
whoever it goes to, I just thought that it should go to this address.
Thanks for all of the help, and thanks for the great program!
