Quick and dirty blog post for those people who are looking to get recent versions of ntop (5.x) running on CentOS 5.6. The main problem is that newer versions of ntop require Python 2.6 or later, and this requirement cannot be disabled compile-time. So the best solution is to simply build your own version of Python and install it.
This is all I had to do to get it working:
You do need the CFLAGS step in order to build Python modules that ntop can link against. Everything else with the ntop install is pretty straightforward in terms of solving dependencies. Happy netflowing! |
