Dear Krishna, Seems that there is conflict in your installation. To install syslog-ng I recommend that u first install the libol. get the libol tar.gz file from the http://www.balabit.hu/en/downloads/syslog-ng/downloads/ . Choose suitable one. After installing the libol, proceed with the syslog-ng installation. Any difficulties? Do write it in again.

I am not getting syslog-ng.conf in the /etc. There is no directory of syslog-ng in the /etc directory Please Help Any help would be appreciated

snalbh> You need to make your own syslog-ng.conf file. There are examples in snalbh> the doc directory of the syslog-ng source distribution (or there was snalbh> in the 1.4.x distribution).
