|o| I have released $SUBJ, though did not announce them widely, only on

|o| syntax will be similar to function calls:

I tried compiling libol-0.1.1 on a RH5.2 Linux system and came up with the
ff. error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/richip/src/libol-0.1.2/src'
cd /home/richip/src/libol-0.1.2 && autoheader
/usr/bin/autoheader: Symbol `HAVE_ATTRIBUTE' is not covered by /usr/lib/autoconf/acconfig.h ./acconfig.h

I am not familiar with autoconf and I'm hoping someone on the list could
tell me what to do. I did see the ff. line in the output of 'configure':

checking for __attribute__... yes

and thought it would be safe to add '#define HAVE_ATTRIBUTE 1' in
./acconfig.h . Was that bad?


|o| The only issue left is how to deal with priorities. Original
|o| syslogd accepts a message above or equal to the a specific
|o| priority (and not only the specific priority). I may add an
|o| optional parameter to priority() so that the relation could also
|o| be specified:
|o| 
|o| priority(info, GE) 

How about a level range specified using the '..' operator:

priority(debug..notice,err,alert..)
