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.

hm. the configure test checking static glib does not check whether
--enable-dynamic-linking was specified and always errors out.

This patch should fix it:

--- orig/configure.in
+++ mod/configure.in
@@ -113,7 +113,7 @@
blb_cv_static_glib=no)])
LIBS=$old_LIBS

-if test "x$blb_cv_static_glib" = "xno"; then
+if test "x$enable_dynamic_linking" = "xno" -a "x$blb_cv_static_glib" = "xno"; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([static GLib libraries not found, either link GLib dynamically using the --enable-dynamic-linking or install a static GLib])
fi


You'll need to regenerate the configure script after patching it 
(using autoconf), alternatively you could also comment out this check
from the already generated configure script.
