I'm not completely sure what the error means except to make sure that you have all of your dependancies met. My ntop server has these packages installed:

libgdbm-dev install
libgdbm3 install
python-gdbm install


Possibly you are missing one of these? Also the command I used was this:
dpkg --get-selections | grep gdbm
