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

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,
