[syslog-ng] Gentoo issues with new portage (maybe)

[Smith, Stephen G., OIG DoD]

I was having that problem as well on RH FC5. Part of my problem was that
there seemed to be two copies of pkgconfig. Doing a quick export of

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

took care of it. Check back in the in the September archive for a thread
about compiling on RH AS3 for more info on this. On the other hand, since
you're on Gentoo this might not work at all.

Cheers,
Steve

At least i think that's what this is.
After a successful install of eventlog, i get this at syslog configure:

- -----
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GLIB... yes
checking for EVTLOG... configure: error: Package requirements (eventlog)
were not met:

No package 'eventlog' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVTLOG_CFLAGS
and EVTLOG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

Why can't pkg-config find eventlog?
Should i go bug Gentoo about this?  (there's an eventlog ebuild, but
it's masked...).  And syslog-ng itself is at 1.6.9 (in ebuilds).

Yeah, i looked at man pkg-config, I'm not sure how to proceed. Should i
be telling p-c where to find it, or bypassing p-c entirely..?
I see this:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/eventlog.pc

which contains:
- -----
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include/eventlog

Name: EventLog
Description: General system logging format library
Version: 0.2.5
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -levtlog
- -----

Seems like enough info, yah?  What went wrong?  Anyone else on Gentoo
hit this..?

TIA,
