Re: [syslog-ng]trouble configuring syslog-ng with libraries
I am still having trouble with this. I am working on it. One question I have that I don't see answered anywhere (maybe I am just blind). But do you have to run syslog-ng on each server you want to log to the logserver? Is this something I have to do for each of my machines? I am not sure I completely understand the process.

I tried the ./configure --enable-dynamic-linking as it suggests, got the exact same results.
Sunfreeware has a newer version of GLIB (SMCglib-2.6.2 out there. My questions are, if I add that package. 1) how will the server know which version to use? 2. Will this corrupt any other packages that may currently be using the SUNWGlib that was installed?
Sorry to ask all these questions, I just don't know library functions very well and don't want to blow the box up so to speak.
hm. the configure test checking static glib does not check whether --enable-dynamic-linking was specified and always errors out.

not necessarily, syslog-ng supports the good old UDP based syslog protocol. one minor note: if you are not that experienced you might want to stick to a stable release (currently 1.6.7) and not a BETA grade software like 1.9.4 is. -- Bazsi
