Must I still need to apply this patch if I am trying to compile syslog-ng-2.0.7+20080117? Also, while on the subject of compiling, I am getting this error, pkg-config/eventlog related, when trying to compile this version. Incidentally, I've this was after building and installing the latest eventlog. checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GLIB... yes checking for EVTLOG... no configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is pkg-config in path? I've seen some stuff on the list regarding this problem, but no fix which has helped. My /usr/local/lib looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58328 Jan 17 08:30 libevtlog.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 822 Jan 17 08:30 libevtlog.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 17 08:30 libevtlog.so -> libevtlog.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 17 08:30 libevtlog.so.0 -> libevtlog.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 41181 Jan 17 08:30 libevtlog.so.0.0.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160516 Dec 20 2005 libol.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 796 Dec 20 2005 libol.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 20 2005 libol.so -> libol.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 20 2005 libol.so.0 -> libol.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 120917 Dec 20 2005 libol.so.0.0.0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 17 08:30 pkgconfig Thank you, .vadim

Hi Bazsi,

There's a problem with the urls in that email, looks like the top-level domain is missing.

Joe.

Hi,

I've been biten by a non-trivial change in the 2.0.x branch again, so there's a quite severe problem in 2.0.7:

- it does not close and reopen files when a SIGHUP is received.

This causes problems for log rotation, especially if the files are compressed after rotation. The problematic patch is this:

http://git.balabit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=syslog-ng/syslog-ng--mainline--2.0.g...

I've pushed an experimental patch to fix the issue:

http://git.balabit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=syslog-ng/syslog-ng--mainline--2.0.g...

I'm goint to be much stricter to myself when deciding whether to include a patch to the 2.0.x branch in the nearfuture.

Sorry for the problem.

Thanks! This did it for me. cp /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/eventlog.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ .vp

Hi,

Yes. Bazsi fixed the problem only a few hours ago.

...

Also, while on the subject of compiling, I am getting this error, pkg-config/eventlog related, when trying to compile this version.

Please refer to the manpage of pkg-config how to add additional directories to its search path.

Regards,

Sandor
