I installed Zeek 2.6.4 for Debian 10 following the instructions for adding the repo and manually installing the package. Next, I attempted to “bro-pkg install bro-af\_package-plugin” and received an error message in bro-af\_packet-plugin-build.log (see below). I have been unsuccessful in searching for information online to help me solve the problem. What should I be doing? Note: the kernel header package for the running kernel (4.19.0-0.bpo.4-amd64) is installed. No idea why cmake can’t find them. Mark === STDERR === CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (include): include could not find load file: BroPlugin CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:8 (find\_package): By not providing “FindKernelHeaders.cmake” in CMAKE\_MODULE\_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by “KernelHeaders”, but CMake did not find one. Could not find a package configuration file provided by “KernelHeaders” with any of the following names: KernelHeadersConfig.cmake kernelheaders-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of “KernelHeaders” to CMAKE\_PREFIX\_PATH or set “KernelHeaders\_DIR” to a directory containing one of the above files. If “KernelHeaders” provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:22 (message): Kernel headers not found. ---

You need to install deb kernel header package...do: apt-cache search linux-headers and find the package that matches your running kernel. James ---

I have the kernel headers installed: $ uname -a Linux zeekmgr 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u1 (2019-09-20) x86\_64 GNU/Linux $ dpkg -l linux-headers-4.19.0-6-amd64 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold ---

Ah....so yea you're looking at my point of contention with bro-pkg, so per: [https://github.com/J-Gras/bro-af\_packet-plugin](https://github.com/J-Gras/bro-af_packet-plugin) it looks like you might have to try and manually install after all. James ---

I installed by hand the last time. I was hoping that the problem was fixed. No problem. Thanks for your help. Mark ---

You bet...I was in the same boat...gave up on bro-pkg and just installed manually....won't look back...too much hassle. James ---

Where are the headers located? Especially where can you find "include/linux/user.h"? This is what cmake is looking for... Jan ---

Oh I see where this might be the issue...looks like common needs installed: /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-3-common/include/linux/user.h ii linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64 4.9.30-2+deb9u5 amd64 Header files for Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 ii linux-headers-4.9.0-3-common 4.9.30-2+deb9u5 all Common header files for Linux 4.9.0-3 Debian is funky 😉 James ---

Both common and amd64 kernel header packages are installed on my system. (The common package is a dependency of the amd64 package.) Besides the kernel headed not being found, there was the error message about not finding BroPlugin. Any idea what that is about? Mark ---
