It seems to me that glibc is the right version, but the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc (or similar) is missing and the configure try to look for that file. Am I right? Is there any workaround to that? glib != glibc. Install the glib2-devel package and pkgconfig as it seems your system doesn't have these.
Sorry guys, I'm the least skillful here :( I'm trying with 1.6.12 version to see if it's easier.
I think that you will find it more difficult to use version 1.6.x. Also, the 2.x series is the only one that will continue to be developed. Let's see if I can add a little less "skilled" instruction. First, lets look at glibc where you have listed glibc-2.3.2-88 glibc-devel-2.3.2-87 There are two with the same version of 2.3.2 (the -xx is a packaging revision number). The first is the runable component that is used by applicaton when you run then. The second (the -devel) is needed only if you are compiling/building applications that use glibc. Now let's turn our attention to your problem, shich is glib2 and you list glib2-2.2.3-21 There is nod -devel version. Because you are trying to compile/build syslog-ng you require the -devel version. So, you need to install the package glib2-devel Depending on your OS, you may use up2date, yum, apt or whatever package management system you have. Once you have the glib2-devel installed you will get the .pc (package configuration) file that syslog-ng uses during the build process. I hope this is more clear. Evan.
