Hi all:

I am seeing errors like this every time the connection summary script runs:

python:/usr/local/bro/lib/broctl/\_SubnetTree.so: undefined symbol '\_\_inet\_addr'  
python:/usr/local/bro/lib/broctl/\_SubnetTree.so: undefined symbol '\_\_inet\_aton'  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File "/usr/local/bro/bin/trace-summary", line 19, in \<module\>  
import SubnetTree  
File "/usr/local/bro/lib/broctl/SubnetTree.py", line 7, in \<module\>  
import \_SubnetTree  
ImportError: Cannot load specified object  
0.20 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys

Incidentally, I get the same kind of linker errors at bro startup that  
were seen on OpenBSD with bro a couple of years ago:

# /usr/local/bro/bin/bro --version  
/usr/local/bro/bin/bro:/usr/lib/libc.so.60.1:  
/usr/local/lib/libbind.so.2.0 : WARNING: symbol(\_\_p\_class\_syms) size  
mismatch, relink your program  
/usr/local/bro/bin/bro:/usr/lib/libc.so.60.1: /usr/local/bro/bin/bro :

/usr/local/lib/libbind.so.2.0 : WARNING: symbol(\_\_p\_type\_syms) size

/usr/local/bro/bin/bro version 2.0-debug

# uname -a  
OpenBSD \<hostname\> 5.0 GENERIC#43 i386  
# pkg\_info | grep libbind  
libbind-9.4.2 BIND 8 compatible stub resolver library

Is this a case of some kind of incompatibility between the libc and  
libbind resolver functions?

Thanks,

---
