BRO is built around a BSD flavor and expects these things to be there. It is very linux/SYS-V un-friendly.. I had to patch several things to get 0.9a8 to work, and then forced everything under /usr/lib/bro and /usr/share/bro. In some ways.. it might actually work better under the /svr/ tree (that is /svr/bro/ as the root). Looking at this old patched version. I had to make some changes to Bro that I sent upstream, and could not use the %configure but had to add some entries to make it do what it should and not what it wanted. If the /svr/bro tree is allowed in extras.. that would clean up most of the problems. Bro is a server/service. If it isnt.. expect to do a bunch of cleanup. I think that most of my patch doesnt work with the later versions due to offsets and such. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
