Syslog-ng experiences a segmentation fault whenever a message is processed: <stop syslogd first> # syslog-ng -d -d -v -F -e syslog-ng starting up; version='2.0.5' Incoming log entry; line='<28>Nov 9 10:11:24 xinetd[12285]: Exiting...'

I used the following steps to build from source: Download eventlog-0.2.5 source ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc make make install export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig" Download syslog-ng-2.0.5 source. ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc make make install I've basically used the supplied config file for Redhat in contrib folder. I'm uncommented the relevant lines in order to use syslog-ng in place of syslogd. Syslog-ng runs OK but as soon as it tries to process a syslog message, it dies with a segmentation fault.
