I just installed from source (master) on a fresh pull, and I am unable to run **bro deploy**. When I do, I receive the following error:

sudo /usr/local/bro/bin/broctl deploy  
checking configurations …  
bro scripts failed.  
/usr/local/bro/bin/bro: error while loading shared libraries: libbinpac.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ldd confirms that libbinpac.so.0 isn’t linked, though the library installed, and the library is linked in ~/sandbox/zeek/build/src

ldd /usr/local/bro/bin/bro

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 96072 Apr 17 12:53 /usr/local/bro/lib64/libbinpac.so.0.51-11

to install, I

• cloned the repository, made sure the submodules were recursively up to date

• cloned PF\_RING

• Compiled

• installed

• ./configure —with-pcacp=/opt/pcap

• make

• sudo make install

Can somebody please help me with what I’m doing incorrectly?

Thank you,

Thanks for the report, I just pushed a change that should help you  
out, grab it like:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;git pull && git submodule update --recursive --init

Then rebuild/reinstall and let me know if there's still problems.
