not a lot of people having this issue... just check if evtlog is installed by doing: pkg-config --list-all | grep event if it's not installed, you will need to install it. On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 9:06 AM, Paul Jasa <pjasa@univision.net> wrote:
Hi, Syslog-NG will not install, no matter what version (tried 5 different ones 2.0.x, including the latest 2.1.3). All the installs end with the exact same error (pasted below) pointing to a missing "eventlog" (not sure whether it's called evtlog or eventlog, but same thing). I'm running RHEL 5. I've installed eventlog N times, including once with an RPM found at www.pbone.net . I see eventlog, it's there, but not where the syslog-ng script wants it.
Seems a LOT of people are having this same issue. I looked through the lists and tried several solutions to no avail. Could a definitive fix be done to the eventlog installation script, and/or the syslog-ng installation script?
Is there a known fix?
Thanks. Paul J.
--------------Running ./configure on RHEL 5--------------
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for EVTLOG... no configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is pkg-config in path? -----------INSTALLATION STOPS HERE---------------
