Ah, I see the problem. The spec file (is that yours, Charlie, or did
it come with ntop?) bypasses "make install" completely -- but "make
install" is installing ntop from SRCDIR/.libs/ntop, which is an ntop
perversion of an autoconf perversion. :-( SRCDIR/ntop is part of the
build process, not ntop itself. Dumb dumb dumb.
