I was having the same problem trying to compile ntop while Sourceforge's CVS
system is/was down.  Someone had mentioned installing ettercap beforehand as
well as finding a copy of the etter.finger.os.

Installing ettercap beforehand did not help any.  I found an old copy of
etter.finger.os that is on the internet.  I modified the Makefile,
Makefile.am, Makefile.in and am able to compile ntop now.  Granted, it is an
older etter.finger.os, but ntop is atleast working now.

I commented out the original and added the new (within the makefile):
ETTER_PASSIVE_FILE = etter.finger.os
ETTER_PASSIVE = $(ETTER_PASSIVE_FILE).gz
#ETTER_PASSIVE_DOWNLOAD_FROM = "
http://ettercap.cvs.sourceforge.net/ettercap/ettercap_ng/share";
ETTER_PASSIVE_DOWNLOAD_FROM = "https://svn.ntop.org/svn/ntop/trunk/pksh/src";
#ETTER_PASSIVE_DOWNLOAD_PARMS = "rev=HEAD"

Also, because ntop's svn is using HTTPS, wget complains.  I inserted the
--no-check-certificate into the wget call to download the etter.finger.os:

@wget --no-check-certificate -O $(ETTER_PASSIVE_FILE) \


Hope this helps in the interim.  Also, on a side note, it looks like
Sourceforge eventually plans to do away with CVS all together and go with
SVN.
