I've been trying to get bro to compile properly under FreeBSD 5.0. It looks  
&nbsp;&nbsp;like the change to gcc3 broke some things. I've attached a patch that gets  
&nbsp;&nbsp;the compile further along than initially, but I got stuck. Of course this  
&nbsp;&nbsp;causes the compiler to kvetch about using depricated headers. Here's the  
&nbsp;&nbsp;error message that has me stumped:

&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't seem to get it to find the hash\<\> templates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm guessing that someone with more experience in C++ would be able to see  
&nbsp;&nbsp;what's going on. I have very little experience with templates, etc in C++.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, the parse.y doesn't seem to be compatible with bison, I had to force  
&nbsp;&nbsp;the Makefile to use the system yacc (byacc).

Can you try the attached patch? There seems to be some incompatibility  
from gcc \<3.0 to \>= 3.0.
