Hi You are missing the glib package which syslog-ng has a dependency upon, like eventlog. libglib-2.0.a can be found in the glib2-devel package which i obtained from Red Hat Advanced Server 3 installation cd's. I'm on Red Hat Linux so downloaded the package onto my machine and installed via RPM. You may get a conflict if another Glib version is installed that doesnt contain the library libglib-2.0.a but i just removed the older version first and then installed gli2-devel which worked for me once i complied syslog-ng again.
