[Bro] Bro installation

[Johanna Amann]

Hello Amina,

the current bro master installation from git.bro.org, that I think you are
trying to use, requires an installation of libcaf
(http://www.actor-framework.org). You either have to install it and
provide the location to configure using --with-libcaf=PATH, or tell
configure to disable the parts of Bro that need the library using
--disable-broker.

If you are trying to compile Bro 2.4.1, this should not be necessary.

As to the binary packages, I just tried an installation on a fresh CentOs
installation that worked without any problems. If you want help in
trouble-shooting that, please provide all steps that you followed until
you arrived at the error-message.

I did:
[root at test ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root at test yum.repos.d]# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:bro/CentOS_6/network:bro.repo
[wget output]
[root at test yum.repos.d]# yum install bro
[yum output, succesful installation]
[root at test yum.repos.d]# /opt/bro/bin/bro --version
/opt/bro/bin/bro version 2.4.1
[root at test yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/centos-release 
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

I hope this helps,
	Johanna
