[Bro] configure problem

Fri Sep 17 10:32:14 PDT 2004

First the good news, the updated tar did fix the "./configure" problem.
Thanks!
(side note: there seems to be a minor incompatibility with <termcap.h> and
SUSE Linux - I'll write that up later.)

However, now I am having the same problem as Anton Chuvakin.  Fortunately it
should be easy to solve.

In short,  "./make install" fails because the file:
"scripts/bro.cfg.example" is missing.

I looked in the "0.8" release and the file wasn't there either; I'm guessing
it is new.  

I'm not familiar enough with the product to try and create one.  The quick
and dirty solution is for someone to send their copy of the file to me -
your call if it should be posted for everyone.  Longer term is to update the
tar again.

Thanks for your help.

John

Have you guys also fixed the 'make install'? It refers to a non-existing 
.cfg.sample file.... (in 0.9a4)
