The problem you are seeing is because the rrd plugin that's part of ntop is 
supplying 5 argument to the rrd_graph() function.  Which is ok for the 
versions of rrd that are bundled with ntop.

However, if you have the rrdtools port installed, it's version of 
rrd_graph() is expecting 8 arguments.  The error you are getting is because 
the prototype for rrd_graph() that comes with rrdtools does not match how 
ntop is calling it.

To get around the problem, you can remove the rrdtool port, and then ntop 
should build without errors.  If you're using rrdtool you can probably 
reinstall it once ntop is built.  That may cause a problem if rrdtool 
installs any shared libraries that ntop uses.
