[Bro] Brolite/Ubuntu Installation "No such file or directory" error

[nlange at ucalgary.ca]

Hello,

We are a group of students working on our fourth year project at the
University of Calgary.  As part of our project, we need to install Bro on
an Ubuntu system.  We are working with the current version of Ubuntu and
Bro.

The error message looks as follows:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/terminator/bro-1.4/aux'
/bin/chown -R 'cat scripts/bro_user_id' /usr/local/bro/
cat: scripts/bro_user_id: No such file or directory
/bin/chown: missing operand after '/usr/local/bro/'
Try '/bin/chown --help' for more information
make: [install-brolite] Error 1 (ignored)
*********************************************************
Please run "/usr/local/bro/etc/bro.rc --start" to start bro
*********************************************************

The file /usr/local/bro/etc/bro.rc also does not exist.  Any help you
could offer would be very much appreciated.
