Building Bro with libclamav support for virus detection on FTP data transfers:

On FreeBSD, you need to build libclamav with the --disable-pthreads option to get bro to compile properly

Note: In recent releases, support for ClamAV has been dropped due to lacking features in libclamav's API.

On debian you need to make sure that you have installed the ncurses5-dev package:

  apt-get install libncurses5-dev

On OpenBSD having the "Non Blocking DNS" features means installing the libbind package :

  pkg_add libbind
