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](http://git.bro.org), that I think you are trying to use, requires an installation of libcaf ([http://www.actor-framework.org](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](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 ---
