Ahhh I should have looked at the build log a little better. ... === configuring in modules/afamqp/rabbitmq-c (/usr/local/uvredhat/BUILD/syslog-ng-3.4.1/modules/afamqp/rabbitmq-c) configure: running /bin/sh ./configure.gnu --disable-option-checking '--prefix=/usr/local' '--libdir=/usr/local/lib64' '--with-module-dir=/usr/local/lib64/syslog-ng' '--mandir=/usr/local/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng' '--localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng' '--enable-pcre' 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig' '--disable-tcp-wrapper' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. ./configure.gnu Running: ./configure --disable-option-checking --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 --with-module-dir=/usr/local/lib64/syslog-ng --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --infodir=/usr/local/share/info --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng --enable-pcre PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig --disable-tcp-wrapper --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. --disable-shared --enable-static --with-pic ... checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... none configure: error: no suitable Python interpreter found configure: error: ./configure.gnu failed for modules/afamqp/rabbitmq-c so it is a .configure limitation in the rabbitmq-c Thanks.

do you happen to have the error message that happens with 2.4? that way I could judge it a bit better w/o having to install rhel5 myself.
also, you might be able to compile syslog-ng on a different host, but I might consider adding compatibility fixes to make things simpler.
----- Original message -----
The requirement of pythong >= 2.5 make compiling syslog 3.4 a problem for Redhat 5.x which only comes iwth python 2.4
Is there any way you could relax this requirement to live with python 2.4?
Redhat 5.x is still a fully supported OS and it would be nice not to limit these hosts to syslog 3.3
