Dear all,

I have problem installing Broker. I installed CAF from the source. When I tried to install Broker, I got the following error.

Build Directory : build  
Source Directory: /home/rwy/Downloads/broker  
-- Found CAF: /usr/local/lib/libcaf\_core.so;/usr/local/lib/libcaf\_io.so found components: core io  
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:21 (message):  
&nbsp;&nbsp;Broker requires CAF version 0.14, older and newer versions are not  
&nbsp;&nbsp;supported. Detected version: 0.15.3

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!  
See also "/home/rwy/Downloads/broker/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

It seems that Broker only support CAF version 0.14 but not any higher version. Is there a workaround for this? Or I need to find a lower version of CAF to install?

And all the examples in Broker's documents are in C. Are there any python examples to show how to use Broker in python?

Thanks a lot.

Wenyu
