Okay, I added the location of the file to my PATH and I get the same 
results:

Here is my PATH:
syslog:~/syslog-ng-1.6.5 #echo $PATH
/usr/local/libol-0.3.14/bin:/usr/java/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

Here you can see my shell can correctly resolve the location of 
libol-config:
syslog:~/syslog-ng-1.6.5 #which libol-config
/usr/local/libol-0.3.14/bin/libol-config

Any ideas?

Thanks,
