Hi,

I'm trying to install bro on OpenBSD 3.6 and receiving the following  
error during the make. Also I've trie to install on FreeBSD on 5.3.  
No Luck with either.

OpenBSD error:

bash-2.05b# make  
g++ -I. -Ilibedit -O -c PktSrc.cc  
PktSrc.cc: In method `void PktSrc::SetHdrSize()':  
PktSrc.cc:239: `DLT\_LINUX\_SLL' undeclared (first use this function)  
PktSrc.cc:239: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once  
PktSrc.cc:239: for each function it appears in.)  
\*\*\* Error code 1

Stop in /home/jsa/bro/bro-pub-0.8a88 (line 350 of Makefile).

FreeBSD error:

Nesium# make  
g++ -I. -Ilibedit -O -c main.cc  
In file included from PacketFilter.h:9,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from Sessions.h:29,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from main.cc:54:  
PrefixTable.h:48: error: struct PrefixTable::iterator redeclared with  
different access  
main.cc: In function `int main(int, char\*\*)':  
main.cc:317: error: array bound forbidden after parenthesized type-id  
main.cc:317: note: try removing the parentheses around the type-id  
\*\*\* Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/jsa/Bro/bro-pub-0.8a88.

I have not been able to find very much information on troubleshooting  
the install. Appreciate the help!

Jeff
