Hi,

Bro compiles fine, installs fine, but this is what I get while trying to  
run it on opensuse 10.1 i585:

/home/vish/work/net/bro/bro-soap/policy/http-request.bro, line 34:

Is there any problem with BRO regular expressions? How can I fix it?

Thanks,  
Dhanesh

Hello Jaya,

I'm not familiar with opensuse but the first question coming to my mind is  
about the Bro's version you use.

Best regards.

Hello Jaya,

I can't remenber a bug looking to this one but could you consider testing the  
last release (1.2) ?

Just to check the fact the problem is still here or not ?

Best regards.
