Frankly, if the compiles were failing for EVERYONE due to some systemic problem, I'd expect to see more than two or three reports, over the last three months, with 600 people subscribed to the mailing lists and 15K downloads from SourceForge...
I had three thoughts here, none of which are consistent with the facts... Idea #1 was that you were untaring into an existing directory that has the .deps/.libs with bad permissions. Idea #2 was that there were a set of .deps/.libs in the .tgz, which are owned by a userid/group that doesn't exist on your system. The problem with that thought is that I don't see it in the .tgz on SourceForge, nor the nightly .tgz created at snapshot (which, btw, is still failing, so despite the date, it's really still the mid December version). Idea #3 was that the new scripts have changed this somehow. The problem here is that the "15Oct" date isn't related in any way to the script change, that happened on the 30th. On the 16th, (which would be the 2002-10-17 .tgz at snapshot not 2002-10-16), Luca enabled the new rrd Plugin -- do $ cvs diff -U3 -r 2.7 -r 2.8 Makefile.am to see the trivial changes. If you view the cvs checkout log at snapshot for the 16th -- http://snapshot.ntop.org/tgz/logs/ntop-02-10-16.txt, NOTHING changed that day... What I'm left with is what changed on that date on YOUR system? What versions of the auto* tools do you have installed??? I'm using: autoconf 2.53 automake 1.6.3 libtool 1.4.2 (and the aclocal that comes with automake) If it's an autotools problem, try recreating them... in a clean directory (i.e. cvs checkout or untared), before doing ANYTHING, do this $ cat acinclude.m4.ntop libtool.m4.in > acinclude.m4.ntop $ aclocal $ autoheader $ autoconf $ automake $ ./configure as per usual $ make Let us know... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mustafa Baig Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 6:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] FreeBSD 4.7 and current CVS I've the exact same error, 101% same, except that it's on Debian 3.0r1. The cvs download from 15 October compiles and runs (I just download and compile the latest source). All downloads after 15 Oct error out with this exact error. I've tried to compile it as root, normal user, deleted the dirs, used new dirs, tried different permissions on dir but error is the same. If anyone finds out what's happening, let me in on it too.
