Hi All, Just did a git pull and run into this error /root/downloads/bro/src/main.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char\*\*)’: /root/downloads/bro/src/main.cc:779: error: ‘init’ is not a member of ‘binpac’ make[3]: \*\*\* [src/CMakeFiles/bro.dir/main.cc.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/bro/build' make[2]: \*\*\* [src/CMakeFiles/bro.dir/all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/bro/build' make[1]: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/bro/build' make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 Thought I'd give a heads up. Cheers, Harry ---

Can you try running the command `submodule update --recursive --init` inside your bro clone before compiling again? When updating a git clone of bro, you usually need to do that after `git pull` in order to keep everything in sync. - Jon ---
