I'm just about to upgrade to syslog-ng to try and see if it stops the problem with dropping stats that we are having at the moment. in the docs it mentions that i need libol 0.3.x, which i am about to compile. however, searching on my system, i cant see any version of libol, even though v1.2 of syslog-ng seems to need 0.2.8. My questions are, what does libol actually do, and why wouldn't my machine already have a copy of it somewhere? thanks! chris -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
