Hi Kostyantyn, I have checked that all required static libraries (.a) are available at /usr/lib location. I also created linked at /usr/local/lib for all requried libraries. It is giving same error messages. Following libraries are checked available at /usr/lib: libnsl.a librt.a libfl.a libevtlog.a (Created linked from /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.1.3/eventlog/lib/libevtlog.a) libnet.a libwrap.a Here below is error messages: ----------------------------------------------------------- Here below is error messge: Compilation option: [champ@ankit-lin syslog-ng-2.1.3]# ./configure --enable-static-linking --prefix=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.1.3 Make works fine uptill (Pasted last few lines): .. .. if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/soe/local/ syslog-ng-2.1.3/eventlog/include/eventlog -D_BSD_SOURCE -D__BSD_SOURCE -D__FAVOR_BSD -DHAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H -D_GNU_SOUR CE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -Wall -MT globals.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/globals.Tpo" \ -c -o globals.o `test -f 'globals.c' || echo './'`globals.c;

I am facing problem while doing static compilation. I have followed the given steps but still getting error while doing 'make'. I am not sure how to use 'glib' option for compilation, I have libglib-2.0.a in '/usr/lib'. Now you really have problems with glibc :) . glib is just abstraction (on unix systems it use glibc). gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o syslog-ng main.o libsyslog-ng.a -static -lnsl -lrt -lfl -L/usr/local/lib -lglib-2.0 -L/opt/soe /local/syslog-ng-2.1.3/eventlog/lib -levtlog -lnet -lwrap make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/soetest1/syslog-ng-2.1.3/src' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/soetest1/syslog-ng-2.1.3'
From this command line you can retrieve info which static libraries you need (some of them are glibc libraries, some not ). So you must have thous libraries : libnsl.a (I saw linker error message that it can't find this library), librt.a, libfl.a, libevtlog.a, libnet.a, libwrap.a . Maybe you need to install glibc-devel package and/or others that contains such libraries.
