[Bro] Bro Digest, Vol 108, Issue 7

Thu Apr 9 21:31:22 PDT 2015

The broctl-config.sh is generated when you run 'broctl install'.  That is why you don't have the file.
A suggestion was made to reinstall bro.  Please run 'make distclean' first before you run configure, make, make install.  I would recommend trying with no options.
Does any other commands segfault at this point such as Broctl update, broctl check, broctl stats?
I have used up to version 2.3-411 on both gentoo and ubuntu and have not ran into that issue before.

Hello all,
I just completed a new Bro installation. I receive the following error message when I try to start Bro (i.e. "broctl | install").
????Error: cannot determine Bro version
My Setup:=======
bro version 2.3-680
minimum configuration => (a single Bro instance on the localhost)
Note: "bro -v" will return the version number but it also produces a segmentation fault..

I do not see this issue in older releases of Bro. Is there a known issue with this latest release?
?Regards,
Jerome Taylor

I think you should try make && make install again! 

Lets see if the error still stays!

Re-running "make; make install" does not fix the problem. The error remains..
In what I believe is an unrelated issue, I notice that the file "/usr/local/bro/spool/broctl-config.sh" does not exist; which in turn causes a broken link for "/usr/local/bro/share/broctl/scripts/broctl-config.sh". I temporarily worked around this problem by importing "/usr/local/bro/spool/broctl-config.sh" from a remote serer that was similarly configured. I mention this hoping that it might point to an underlying issue with the build.

Jerome Taylor

No, that?s not been seen before and things appear to work fine on various platforms Bro is tested against.  Can you give more details?  What platform/OS/compiler?  Did you give any special ./configure flags?  Can you post a backtrace from gdb/lldb ?

> In what I believe is an unrelated issue, I notice that the file "/usr/local/bro/spool/broctl-config.sh" does not exist; 

I think that file is generated by `broctl install`, so if that doesn?t complete due to the issue you mention above, that could explain why it?s missing.

Jon,
Thanks for taking a look a this..
I have a very basic node.cfg file????[bro]
????type=standalone
????host=localhost
????interface=eth0

I am running CentOS 6.6 kernel 2.6.32-504. The diag report from broctl is listed below.????Bro 2.3-680
????Linux 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64
????==== No reporter.log
????==== No stderr.log
????==== No stdout.log
????==== No .cmdline
????==== No .env_vars
????==== No .status
????==== No prof.log
????==== No packet_filter.log
????==== No loaded_scripts.log
# bro -v??????? ! reports the following
bro version 2.3-680Segmentation fault
I originally compile bro with a config option "configure --with-pcap=/..." but I have since removed this. The fault still occurs. I will provide a backtrace report shortly.

Regards,
Jerome Taylor
