I have CentOS 6.7. I have attempted to install bro in all possible ways with no success. I have installed the dependencies and development tools but I keep getting errors.
The git installation yields an error
When I try installing the binaries, I get
Any help will be very appreciated.
Hello Amina,
the current bro master installation from git.bro.org, that I think you are
trying to use, requires an installation of libcaf
(http://www.actor-framework.org). You either have to install it and
provide the location to configure using --with-libcaf=PATH, or tell
configure to disable the parts of Bro that need the library using
--disable-broker.
If you are trying to compile Bro 2.4.1, this should not be necessary.
As to the binary packages, I just tried an installation on a fresh CentOs
installation that worked without any problems. If you want help in
trouble-shooting that, please provide all steps that you followed until
you arrived at the error-message.
I did:
[root@test ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@test yum.repos.d]# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:bro/CentOS_6/network:bro.repo
[wget output]
[root@test yum.repos.d]# yum install bro
[yum output, succesful installation]
[root@test yum.repos.d]# /opt/bro/bin/bro --version
/opt/bro/bin/bro version 2.4.1
[root@test yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
I hope this helps,
Johanna
