Hi-

I had syslog-ng 3.5.3 operational without an issue.  I wanted to implement the smtp driver so installed libesmtp and then re-compiled both enventlog and syslog-ng.  The only difference was my configure arguments for syslog-ng, which was configure --with-libesmtp=/usr/local/lib.  Everything looked good afterwards.

syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.5.3 configured

 Compiler options:

  compiler                    : gcc -std=gnu99

  compiler options            : -g -O2 -Wall -pthread  -pthread -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include   -I/usr/local/include/eventlog         -I$(top_srcdir)/lib/ivykis/src/include -I$(top_builddir)/lib/ivykis/src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

  linker flags                :

  prefix                      : /usr/local

  linking mode                : dynamic

  embedded crypto             : no

  __thread keyword            : yes

 Submodules:

  ivykis                      : internal

  libmongo-client             : internal

  librabbitmq                 : internal

 Features:

  Debug symbols               : no

  GCC profiling               : no

  Memtrace                    : no

  IPV6 support                : yes

  spoof-source support        : no

  tcp-wrapper support         : no

  Linux capability support    : no

  PCRE support                : yes

  Env wrapper support         : no

  systemd support             : no (unit dir: none)

 Modules:

  Module search path          : /usr/local/lib/syslog-ng

  Sun STREAMS support (module): no

  SSL support (module)        : yes

  SQL support (module)        : no

  PACCT module (EXPERIMENTAL) : no

  MongoDB destination (module): yes

  JSON support (module)       : no

  SMTP support (module)       : yes

  AMQP destination (module)   : yes

  STOMP destination (module)  : yes

  GEOIP support (module)      : no

  Redis support (module)      : no

Yet, now when I attempt to start syslog-ng I receive the following error.

/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng: error while loading shared libraries: libsyslog-ng-3.5.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, the file looks good also.

ls -l /usr/local/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.5.3.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2227624 Mar 12 08:47 /usr/local/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.5.3.so

any thoughts as to what might be wrong?

Thanks,
