Does anyone have install instructions for gperftools on Ubuntu 14.04?

I received the following output before installing bro and wanted to make sure it was included:

Broccoli: true

Broctl: true

Aux. Tools: true

GeoIP: true

gperftools found: false

tcmalloc: false

debugging: false

jemalloc: false

I believe this is:

sudo apt-get install libgoogle-perftools-dev

Yeah.. just keep in mind that if you build bro against perftools on the manager, the worker boxes will need the library installed as well. Otherwise the resulting bro binary will fail to start.
