Has anyone figured out how to install Ntop using Linux Puppy.

Is there a Pet?

Where to get all the dependancies?

Thanks

Thanks, looks useful... But, I am a Linux user for just a few days now and since my machine has only 4GB or SSD and limited to Puppy only, I am totally lost as to how to get those Debian listed dependancies onto Puppy.

Sorry, any more help with that!!

Wirwav- you didn't mention the pup you're on.. For me, along with deps- it's in the pkg mngr.

Hi

I installed lupu_528.sfs

I dont see it at all under package manager.

What ver do you have?

I tried to use NtopXtra and run it under wine, OpenXtra commander just says that the Ntop service is Not installed.

Here in "Precise-5.6.1"...
I opened the "Puppy Package Manager" [PPM]...
Searched for ntop...
"ntop_4.1.0+dfsg1-1" = "display network usage in web browser" was found...
Clicked it and a dialog window opened that allowed me to "examine dependencies".
See screenshot below of the result of choosing to do that.
i.e. 8 dependencies [plus 2 in the 2nd tab not displayed].
I didn't bother to complete the install.

All you had to do was tick your repos'n update PPM.

Yes...
I had probably updated my Precise-5.6.1 PPM during some previous session.

Hi.

I tried to update package manager in 5.28, it updated, but Ntop was never found.

So now I am on 5.6.1 Precise.. Sure I searched for Ntop and found it, I checked all the dependancies (default) and sat back and waited.

It does not seem to load properly and there is no icon etc.

Shame, looked like it was almost there!

Think you missed the 'tick' bit..

@ any rate, type this into a console: which ntop

Then: ldd /path/from/above/output

No (L)ldd? Do this: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /path/to/ntop

hi,

nop sorry..

I get a bash report that says No such file or directory

And again the Puppy package manager seems to be frozen 10 minutes now, just a white screen with Puppy Package manager at the top.

Did you go through to installing it?

Maybe there is something wrong with the installation packages.

Are you familiar with the program?

The NtopXtra works fine on my windows machine, but this is a little Dell FX170 with 4GB SSD and 2GB ram, I wanted to leave it running 24/7 !!

Also not sure if Ntop runs with SeaMonkey as a browser.

Maybe thats the problem?

ok I didnt spot this "No (L)ldd? Do this: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /path/to/ntop"

Finally the blank window closed.

I have done the above and I get,

--list/path/to/ntop: error while loading shared libraries: --list/path/to/ntop:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Case and spacing- both critical. While not perfect- +intristin..

For you, try again: /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /usr/sbin/ntop
