Virgil,
I am trying to install syslog-ng on RH 8.0 and have read the INSTALL document.
I have the necessary dependancies from what I can tell (I'm also pretty new to RH / Linux); I have done the ./confgure, which seemed to go smooth.
1) Just download the libol 0.3.14 tarball and build/install the binary RPMS: rpmbuild -ta libol-0.3.14.tar.gz After installing the libol RPMS just try to build syslog-ng again. Should build without problems. 2) Or you may try building the libol and syslog-ng RPMS available in the QA queue of the fedora.us project (they should work in RH < 9.0). The links for downloading the SRPMS are available in the following bugzilla entries: libol: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2014 syslog-ng: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1332 Regards, jpo -- José Pedro Oliveira * mailto: jpo@di.uminho.pt * http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/~jpo * * gpg fingerprint = F9B6 8D87 859D 1C94 48F0 84C0 9749 9EB5 91BD 851B *
