[Bro] Installing Bro-1.5.1 Ubuntu 9.10 Problem with gcc

[Louis F Ruppert]

Do you have python-dev and python2.5-dev installed as well?  If I remember correctly, the configure script doesn't really seem to look for the presence of the python libraries, so you can imagine the results if you don't have them installed when compiling the python-based broccoli.  My home bro setup uses ubuntu, so I know it can be made to work. :)

I am trying to install bro under Ubuntu 9.10
    I did the following:
    apt-get install libncurses5-dev
    apt-get install g++
    apt-get install bison
    apt-get install flex
    apt-get install libmagic-dev
    apt-get install libgeoip-dev
    apt-get install libssl-dev

Then I type the following as a root
    ./configure --enable shippedpcap
I got the following:
