Just in general, I also use the --prefix argument to drop the code being built into a directory tree. Does it work if you run ./configure like this:

./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/wip/lib/libevtlog EVTLOG_CFLAGS=-I/home/user/wip/lib/libevtlog/include --enable-static --prefix=/home/user/wip/syslog-ng

Then run make and make install. Run the code from the prefix directory. You may need to also drop the .so files from libevtlog/lib into the same lib dir.

Cheers,

Jan

Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] error while loading shared libraries
I’m using ./configure, make, make install
 
Configure line:
  $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/wip/lib/libevtlog EVTLOG_CFLAGS=-I/home/user/wip/lib/libevtlog/include --enable-static
 
Since I’m ‘staging’ my build for another box, I needed to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and EVTLOG_CFLAGS to have my ‘staged’ eventlog library to be found. The ‘--enable-static’ was added to try and fix the error, but the it happens with or without it.

Are you building an rpm from spec file? Or are you using ./configure, make, make install?
 
Either way, seeing the arguments to ./configure that you used, or the one in the spec file you used, would be ideal.

Subject: [syslog-ng] error while loading shared libraries

I'm getting the following error:
    /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.3.3.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid
When I try to run syslog-ng (also occurs when I run pbdtool)
    pdbtool: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.3.3.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid

I'm building on one box (RedHat), and running on another (not sure what flavor of Linux, might be CentOS).
Any pointers to what I can set during the build phase that will allow it to run?

Thanks,
Chris
