[Bro] Compiling error on Ubuntu Linux - now: make-problem

[Vidar Evenrud Seeberg]

Hello Jason!

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help very much. No problem with
delay.

g++ and libterm did the trick for ./configure. Some additions for your
record, though (if others ask the same question):
The termcap is obsolete in Ubuntu Breezy. I installed the termcap-compat
package. I then had to "cd /usr/lib" and "ln -s /lib/libtermcap.so.2
libtermcap.so" to make "./configure" work. I also exported /usr/lib to
$LD_LIBRARYPATH

But now to some make-problems. This is what I get when "make":
...
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/ether.h:26,
                 from ef.l:13:
../../linux-include/netinet/if_ether.h:41: error: redefinition of
'struct ether_ addr'
../../linux-include/netinet/if_ether.h:48: error: redefinition of

'struct ether_ arp'
make[4]: *** [ef.o] Error 1
...

Any ideas?


Best regards
Vidar
