Hello All , Having just ran thru all of the changelogs I could find there is no mention of the change to requiring glib-2.10(or greater) except when running './configure' ie: " checking for GLIB - version >= 2.10.1... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: Cannot find GLIB version >= 2.10.1: is pkg-config in path? " My system is quite old (ie: slackware 10.2 Circa 2005 , tho faithfully kept upto date for bug releases & such . There is no a graceful way to update to a newer glib . I was unable to find a reasonably 'Searchable' archive of the maillist or I'd have done that too . I have found that the requirement for glib-2.10 must go back as far as 2.0.3 as my local archive has mentions of glib-2.10 difficulties with that version of syslog-ng . so I guess it's back to 2.0.2 , Tho I am still not sure if even that will build . Thus my question , What is the last syslog-ng version that compiles under glibc-2.3.5 ? And will it be secure to run ?
