I loathe compiling on solaris, and try to avoid it wherever possible. If the only reason youre not using the pre-compiled package is the lack of init script, then it'd be easier to get an init script than compile a new syslog-ng. If anything, you can just yank the init script from the source and use it with the pre-compiled version. If youre using solaris 10, then the proper way is to use the SMF manifests. A good source is http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+smf/manifests and there's one for syslog-ng listed there.

Hello All,

 

I am not sure if this is a forum where I can post some help I would require but would appreciate if it is.

I have been trying to install syslog-ng open source on Solaris since quite sometime and now I am almost giving up.

 

After installing I would have presumed to have /etc/init.d/syslog-ng file created but it wasn’t.

Also now I am not able to do “make” to syslog-ng , observing the following error.

 

Can anyone help me why this is happening?

Is it related to PATH / PKG_CONFIG_PATH or something ? Something or the other is happening and always ending up not able to complete the installation.

 

# echo $PATH

/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/scripts/common:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/nsr:/usr/sbin/nsr:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/sfw/bin
