I'm not 100% sure but when we build our packages our configure looks like: ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --libdir=%{_libdir} --with-module-dir=%{_libdir}/syslog-ng --mandir=%{_mandir} --infodir=%{_prefix}/share/info \ --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}/syslog-ng --localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng \ --enable-pcre \ --enable-json \ --disable-python \ --with-java \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=%{_libdir}/pkgconfig:%{_prefix}/share/pkgconfig:/lib64/pkgconfig:/lib/pkgconfig \ --disable-tcp-wrapper \ so we set PKG_CONFIG_PATH on the configure command line. his looks similar to what you have done. Did you perhaps forget to "export" the PKG_CONFIG_PATH Evan. On 10/20/2015 02:48 PM, Ho, Ming wrote:

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVTLOG_CFLAGS and EVTLOG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. # pwd /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig # ll total 4 -rw-r–r– 1 root root 238 Oct 16 21:55 eventlog.pc # cat eventlog.pc prefix=/usr/local exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include/eventlog Name: EventLog Description: General system logging format library Version: 0.2.12 Cflags: -I${includedir} Libs: -L${libdir} -levtlog
Appreciate anyone who can tell me what’s wrong Ming
