Hope This will help you to compile Sysylog-ng for proper fuctioning. Compilation Procedure Below are the steps, which are required to complete the compilation. 1. Create the appropriate directory tree in /opt/soe/local for syslog-ng Note: Download the latest source code for eventlog and Syslog-ng. Before compiling the Syslog-ng we need to compile eventlog, which is required for Syslog-ng to function properly. Compiling eventlog 1. Go to eventlog source directory 2. Cd eventlog_src_dir 3. ./configure --prefix=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/eventlog 4. make 5. make install Compiling Syslog-ng 1. Go to Syslog-ng source directory 2. Cd syslog_ng_src_dir 3. ./configure --enable-static-linking --prefix=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2 EVTLOG_CFLAGS=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/eventlog/include EVTLOG_LIBS=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/eventlog/lib 4. make 5. make install Note: on HP, it requires to be compiling with dynamic options as: ./configure --enable-dynamic-linking --prefix=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2 EVTLOG_CFLAGS=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/eventlog/include EVTLOG_LIBS=/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/eventlog/lib Shamim CSC Noida syslog-ng-request@lists.balabit.hu wrote: Send syslog-ng mailing list submissions to syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to syslog-ng-request@lists.balabit.hu You can reach the person managing the list at syslog-ng-owner@lists.balabit.hu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of syslog-ng digest..."

Any advice and suggestion are appreciated.Thanks

Did you export the environment variable? Check that # pkg-config eventlog --cflags returns anything at all. If it doesn't, investigate why (strace and friends could help here) here are envs: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/eventlog/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/eventlog/lib/pkgconfig/ [root@test syslog-ng-2.0.4]# pkg-config eventlog --cflags -I/usr/local/eventlog/include/eventlog but there is the same error: .............................. checking for GLIB... yes checking for EVTLOG... no configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is pkg-config in path? why? Thanks Regards.
