2.2 is no longer supported. There is a 2.2c at SourceForge and we're asking people to test the cvs version also.
That rpm was probably created on a RH 7.3 system... so I can't vouch for the dependencies in the rpm being 100% accurate on any other RH version. Remember, when you install a package, there is often a -devel version that has the header files that must also be installed. As it happens that's not true for libpcap (there's no libpcap-devel that I'm aware of)... you can always look for the pieces via: $ locate libpcap /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0 /usr/lib/libpcap.a /usr/lib/libpcap.so /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6.2 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6 /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.6.2 /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.6.2/CHANGES /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.6.2/README $ locate pcap.h /usr/include/pcap.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.19um/include/config/uml/net/pcap.h It ought to work, as /usr/lib is a 'standard' location for ld to resolve .so files from and the pcap.h file is where the ntop.spec file says it should be (at least on my system). Check your file permissions - maybe the userid you're compiling as doesn't have access to /usr/include/pcap.h??? More to the point, why are you mixing methods? If you install from an rpm, you usually install the BINARY package. If you install the SOURCE, then you should be following the instructions in BUILD-ntop.txt. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 3:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] libpcap error rebuilding ntop Hi, I get the ntop-2.2-0.src.rpm package from source forge. My machine is a Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) Kernel 2.4.18-14 on an i686, it's recently instaled and have no updates. The packages I have installed are: glibc-2.2.93-5 gdbm-1.8.0-18 libpng-1.2.2-6 libpcap-0.6.2-16 tcpdump-3.6.3-3 And when I rebuild the ntop package shows this errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NtopRedHat]# rpmbuild --rebuild ntop-2.2-0.src.rpm Installing ntop-2.2-0.src.rpm Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55175 ... + ./buildAll.sh Testing for libpng 1.0.14 v 1.2.4 conflict Testing for gcc...

I would be better if I download the RPM already builded for a machine with caracteristics like mine? And where I can get it?. This package : ntop-2.2-0.dag.rh73.i386.rpm from Dag Wheers can work for a RH 8.0 i686?. Any sugestion would be apriciate. Thanks. Hernando Tovar. P.S. I'm not Linux user at all, this are my first steps so be patience if this seems dumb questions for any of you. _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
