Hi Matthew, The version I'm trying to compile is syslog-ng-3.2beta1, with a small patch [1] in the debian/rules file. You're right, compiling using configure/make/make install does work OK... so I guess its something related to debian configuration files for creating the deb. If you try, let me know how it went. Thanks for your reply. Regards, Jean-François Mousinho [1] the patch lines for debian/rules: - --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng + --localstatedir=/var/run/syslog-ng \ + --with-pidfile-dir=/var/run/syslog-ng \ + --enable-ipv6 \ + --enable-ssl \ On Tue, 2010-10-26 at 08:58 -0700, Matthew Hall wrote:
Hello Jean-Francois,
Which version of the daemon were you trying to compile?
I have successfully compiled the 3.2 alphas and betas on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which is quite similar to Debian but I was doing debugging work so I did not try creating a deb package.
I can try making a deb today to see if I get the same error or not. At the same time I am curious what result you get if you if you try compiling it using ./configure --prefix=/jean/can/use/a/tmp/dir, make, make install. I want to try to narrow down where the failure is occurring.
Regards, Matthew Hall.

Hello,
I'm trying to manually build the package in Debian, but I'm getting an error when compiling:
... dh_shlibdeps: Compatibility levels before 4 are deprecated. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: couldn't find library libdbparser.so needed by debian/syslog-ng/bin/pdbtool (its RPATH is '//lib://lib/syslog-ng'). Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file. To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for lib/.libs/libsyslog-ng.so.0 (used by debian/syslog-ng/bin/pdbtool). dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512 make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 ...
I've noticed that libdbparser.so is actually located in ./modules/dbparser/.libs/libdbparser.so but the problem seems to be that dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find dependency information for libsyslog-ng?
I don't know much how automake+dpkg-buildpackage work to know how to solve this, even tho I've tried to google for it.
Thanks for your time.
