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. 🙂 -Lou ---

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?
