Hi.

I'm still having problems installing bro .9a4a on SUSE Linux.

The "configure" and "make" (compile) steps worked (as far as I can tell).

But I'm unable to successfully execute "sudo make install". The following  
files are missing/unavailable:

1. IP4.pm // some perl module that helps "guess the network configuration"  
2. intern.bro.default  
3. mail\_reports.sh

I MAY need either need either #1 or #2, but I would like to have both. I do  
think #3 is necessary.

Thanks for your help.

John
