hi guys, When I try to compile bro 1.5.1 on FreeBSD AMD64 platform, I hit this error - building ‘\_broccoli\_intern’ extension cc -shared -pthread -L/usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broccoli/src/.libs -I/usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broccoli/src /usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broctl/.python-build/temp.freebsd-8.0-RELEASE-amd64-2.6/broccoli\_intern\_wrap.o -L…/…/src/.libs -lbroccoli -o /usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broctl/.python-build/lib.freebsd-8.0-RELEASE-amd64-2.6/\_broccoli\_intern.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broccoli/src/.libs/libbroccoli.a(bro.o): relocation R\_X86\_64\_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/home/cslee/bro-source/bro-1.5.1/aux/broccoli/src/.libs/libbroccoli.a: could not read symbols: Bad value error: command ‘cc’ failed with exit status 1 \*\*\* Error code 1 Anyway thanks to robin for pointed stuffs on bro log archive stuffs. ---
