Hi John, thanks for the hint.

template option. Make sure that you do NOT have the file patch-cfg-lex.l in your files directory under the syslog-ng

I don't.

port tree. Instead you should see patch-cfg-grammer.h (and a couple of other valid patches)

I do. It reads --- src/cfg-grammar.h.orig Thu Mar 27 22:41:34 2003 +++ src/cfg-grammar.h Thu Mar 27 22:41:47 2003 @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ # define KW_DIR_OWNER 296 # define KW_DIR_GROUP 297 # define KW_DIR_PERM 298 -# define KW_TEMPLATE 299 +# define KW_FILE_TEMPLATE 299 # define KW_TEMPLATE_ESCAPE 300 # define KW_OWNER 301 # define KW_GROUP 302 So this should be ok. Still doesn't work though. Regards, JP
