you need an rpm spec file for your didtro or a src.rpm and depending on your distro and the version of RPM you use the rpmbuild command or the rpm command to compile it. what distro are you for an rpm looking for also as i said amd64 rpms will work on intel x86_64 chips because they use identical instruction sets. the only difference is the intel chips have newer addons to sse and the amd chips have an extended 3dnow set however these are almost never enabled in rpms because there would be compatiblity issues between different revisions of the same chip if they were.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
Could you please suggest me how to compile and make the RPM for Intel x86_64 processor from syslog-ng source code? I have downloaded syslog-ng_3.0.3.tar.gz (sorce tar) from balabit site.
As I am a beginner in this field and don't have more knowledge of syslog-ng. If you can provide me the steps for compilation and RPM then it would be helpful for me.
Thanks, V

x86_64 is the Official name for amd64 Intel licenced the technology from AMD for their core 2 and Xenon series chips. the reason people call it amd64 is it originally was only on AMD chips before the industry standardized on it as the 64 bit replacement for IA32 which was more commonly called x86
if you are asking about the Intel Itanium chips that use IA64 thats another story however when in doubt you can always compile from source Jain, Vaibhav (GE Healthcare) wrote:
Hi,
In the balabit site syslog-ng(open source edition) is available only for amd64 and i386 platform. Is it available for intel based x86_64 machine ?
