How can I install the latest version of Linux Audit on CentOS 6.8?

[Mateusz Piotrowski]

Hello,

I’m trying to update the 2013 version of auditd on a just installed CentOS 6.8-i386. 

So far I’ve downloaded audit-userspace from GitHub[1] and I’ve faced a couple of problems:

1. README says that I should consult the README-install file. I cannot see this file. Where is it?
2. I consulted the INSTALL.tmp and since I’ve not got any ./configure file inside my clone I deducted I’ve got to run ./autogen.sh. I was missing some dependencies so I ran `yum install autoconf automake libtool`.
 
 Then I ran `./configure --sbindir=/sbin --with-python=yes --with-libwrap --enable-gssapi-krb5=yes --with-libcap-ng=yes` but the command failed at this is a part of the log I got (the full log file is available here[2]):

    configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libcap-ng
    ...
    Checking for programs
    ...
    ./configure: line 13130: AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD: command not found
    ...
    Checking for header files
    ...

    checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages
    configure: error: Python explicitly requested and python headers were not found

 Have you got any idea what the problem is?


Is there an easier way to get the latest Linux Audit version on my system?

Cheers!
