Please take a look at the following snippet that ./configure outputs. In particular, the spurious text between "compiler options" and "linker flags" is due to libnet-config. Thing is, this bit of text is creeping into the Makefiles and compilation fails.
[ cut ] Haven't got a clue what the heck was the libnet-config you ran, but definitely not the one syslog-ng expects...
Searching on the web reveals that libnet-config is outdated and should not even be present on modern linux systems.
This isn't true... You should install the latest libnet available from http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet , or even better install a maintained one shipped by distros which contains bugfixes. On debian-based distros libnet1-dev is the package which contains libnet-config. Regards, Sandor
