[syslog-ng]Installing on Mac OS X

[Blaise St-Laurent]

I'm going out on a big limb here, but i seem to remember a couple of friends
who've run OSX for a long time (early betas) and ran into this.

I'd try upgrading your autoconf and automake to more recent versions, e.g
2.5x or so, which should have the full mac OSX macros. You may have to
rebuild the ./configure scripts with these new versions before it'll work.
which should be as simple as autoheader && automake --add-missing &&
autoconf (IN THEORY)
