Hello,everyone.
I enountered problems when i tried to install NTOP from source code on my system(Linux FC2). I downloaded ntop-3.0.tgz from sourceforge.net, and then did the following operations after unzipping the package in "/usr/local":
1. changed "/usr/local/ntop-3.0" to "/usr/local/ntop"
2. #cd /usr/local/ntop
3. #./configure
4. #./make
5. #./make install
When i ran "./configure", there was a WARING as follows:
*******************************************************************
*
* WARNING: One or more items required for the xmldump plugin are
* missing:
*
* xmlversion.h...no
* libxml2.so or libxml2.a...yes
* gdome.h...no
* libgdome.so or libgdome.a...no
* glib.h...no
* libglib.so or libglib.a...yes
* glibconfig.h...no
*
* (yes means it was found, no means it was not found)
*
* ntop will run just fine without this plugin.
*
*>>> If you want to use the xmldump plugin,
*
*??? 1. Install the necessary headers and libraries.
*??? and rerun ./configure
*
*******************************************************************
But i think that this warning is not so important, because i donot have to use xmldump. So i did nothing to fix this Warning.

After i finished these steps,i ran "#ntop",but there was a fatal error occured.Please see the following:

And i found that after the operation of "#make install",there was still no dir "/usr/local/var" in my filesystem,not even "/usr/local/var/ntop".
Would you please tell me how to fix this error?
Eager for your help.
Best Regards!
