Hi

Interesting, I've never had to build it as root on my RH Linux boxes. I had to install it as root but that is to be expected...

Ok, I think the point is that it is necessary to install libol as root before building syslog-ng. I am quite new to Linux and followed the syslog-ng instruction: ./configure && make && make install explicity. i.e. I did it all on one line, as root. Sorry, if I missed the obvious.
