ntop @3.3.10 port builds/installs but execution fails due to libevent version changes

Port: ntop

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I've submitted this upstream as well, but since I've found no other search hits on this issue either here, on ntop's bugzilla, or in forums, I wanted to submit this as informational until ntop's port gets updated from upstream.

From a clean 'port install ntop' the port will build/install properly, including the dependencies on libevent (currently 2.0.10-stable).

When attempting to run ntop the following message is seen:

Thu Feb 17 15:54:28 2011  Initializing ntop
Thu Feb 17 15:54:28 2011  **ERROR** You are using libevent 16637152 whereas ntop needs at least v1.4
Thu Feb 17 15:54:28 2011  **ERROR** Due to a libevent bug with IPv6 address resolution

Thu Feb 17 15:54:28 2011  **ERROR** Please rebuild ntop against a newer libevent version

Would updating ntop to 4.0.3 resolve this?

4.0.1 does not seem to have the problem.

I would supply a patch for the Portfile, but I'm not sure what to do with the patches (as they do not apply cleanly to 4.0.1) and I can't get MacPorts to download the current version 4.0.3 from SourceForge. Also, this port uses a default compiler and thus errors out when using the settings as described in the "How to test" section of UsingTheRightCompiler.

Has duplicate #33239.

A patch to update the port to 4.1.0 is in #31330; please let us know if that helps.

Resolution: fixed

ntop has been updated to 4.1.0, which based on comment:6 should fix this.
