I am trying to install bro under Ubuntu 9.10
I did the following:
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
apt-get install g++
apt-get install bison
apt-get install flex
apt-get install libmagic-dev
apt-get install libgeoip-dev
apt-get install libssl-dev
Then I type the following as a root
./configure --enable shippedpcap
I got the following:

I do not know what is the problem exactly
Thanks

I've been working on debian packages for Bro, you probably also need:
build-essential
python-dev
libpcap-dev
and don't use shippedpcap
and if you plan on running broctl, the 'time' package
Then it should build without any issues.
Do you have python-dev and python2.5-dev installed as well? If I remember correctly, the configure script doesn't really seem to look for the presence of the python libraries, so you can imagine the results if you don't have them installed when compiling the python-based broccoli. My home bro setup uses ubuntu, so I know it can be made to work.

That looks like a problem similar to one we have heard about
earlier: a config difference between your system and the system
generating the Python bindings for Broccoli.
There's an experimental patch to fix such problems, I'm attaching
it. Can you see if that helps already?
Thanks,
Robin
