Hi everybody,
I have installed Bro on UBUNTU. When I try to start it with "bro.rc
--start", I receive the following error:

bro.rc: Starting ..........bro.rc: Failed to start Bro
line 1: error: can't open hostname.bro
... FAILED

Any help or hint to fix this error?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Regards,

Hello,

Just take a look at the file "bro.cfg" and search for

3

Thank you all for your replies.
I tried to compile Bro 1.4 on my Ubuntu following the link recommended
by Sirisha Akkala:
http://blog.ncsa.uiuc.edu/aashish/2008/10/21/moving-to-bro-14/

I had so many problems with autoconf and sisters, I managed to resolve
them all but the one related to autoheader.
It seems that Bro is more adapted for FreeBSD installations.

I will try your suggestions later hoping that it can be done directly
with "./configure & make" without needing autoconf.

Best regards,

Masgad

If you're referring to issues specific to Bro's build configuration,
then it'd be helpful if you could post details regarding these issues so
we can look into potential fixes.

No, our releases should build out-of-the-box on Linux as well, including
Ubuntu.
