Right ! I am using Linux. Could you tell me which system is the best to run Bro?

Great, it almost works! Why , just changing h\_errno to host\_errno ?

But new error like :  
nb\_dns.o: In function '\_nb\_dns\_mkquery':  
\*/bro/nb\_dns.c:203: undefined reference to '\_\_res\_mkquery'  
...

\<\< attach5 \>\>

How to open the attach5?

I don't know which is the best. Operationally, we're running it on  
FreeBSD here, but I am doing some developing on Linux as well. I  
would guess that there isn't a big difference between the two, but  
I've never compared them. If anyone has some experiences in this  
respect, I would really like to hear them.

(In the near future, I will probably give Solaris a try, too.)

Some system header file defines h\_error as a macro on Linux.

Right, that are the linker errors I had mentioned. No solution for  
them yet, but I will try to fix them, too.

That's a PGP signature.
