To whom it may concern: I am having a problem installing syslog-ng and need some help. I have included installation report files from libol-0.3.9 and syslog-ng-1.6.2. I have attempted the install with various versions of syslog-ng and libol, but I have had no success. I have read the README and INSTALL files for syslog-ng, but they have not provided the assistance I need. Also, I have installed bison and flex. Those two programs installed with no errors. Are there some other dependencies that are not documented? Thanks John T.

happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for more information, such as the
