[Bro] Compiling error on Ubuntu Linux

[Jason Lee (DSD staff)]

Vidar,

 If you could check in your config.log and
see what the cause of this error is, that would
be great. Usually this can be tracked back to
a problem with your LD_LIBRARYPATH or your
installed glibc.

Cheers,
jason

(PS, are you running this on a 64 bit machine?)
