sorry, but here's what i get....
i downloaded libol-0.3.9.tar.gz File 193.35k 01/31/2003, and im trying to install syslog-ng-1.6.8, wich (as you said) does not include libol...
are you suggesting that i should install libol-0.3.18? are you suggesting that i should install syslog-ng-1.6.9 or later? are you suggesting that i should install syslog-ng 2.0.x?
im sorry, but i dont really get the trouble with the releases, i dont know if there's a problem with the versions...
simple, 0.3.18 is greater than 0.3.9, syslog-ng 1.6.12 is newer than 1.6.8. So if you want to stick to 1.6.x you should use 1.6.12, which should have libol bundled in the tarball. Whether to use 2.0.x or 1.6.x is your call. 1.6.x is in strict maintenance mode now, 2.0 is the current stable version, everybody is urged to use that instead of 1.6.x. However 2.0.x is a complete reimplementation of 1.6.x so it might be rougher around the edges. -- Bazsi
