Hi,

Right now syslog-ng is built using the dynamic tcp_wrappers
library.

   $ ldd syslog-ng
       libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x0583f000)
       libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x0029d000)
       libwrap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 (0x00d87000)
                       ^^^^^^^^
       libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00bcb000)
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bb3000)

In some configurations the /usr/lib directory may not be
available (eg: mount by nfs) when the daemon is started.
Would it be possible to modify the syslog-ng configure file
to use the static tcp_wrappers library instead?

A possible patch is attached. Note that it may not be
the best solution as I am not a autotools expert
(it does work in Red Hat/Fedora distros though).

Thanks in advance,
jpo
