All the missing references above are macros in glib. Maybe you compiled
syslog-ng against an old glib (which did not have those), and then you
didn't recompile with the new one? Do a "make clean" after changing
dependencies.

And before quoting the word 'stable': I would not judge a piece of
software by my incompetence of compiling things from source. Use a
binary package.

I know that the configure script of syslog-ng could be more user
friendly, but I cannot make it any easier to install required
dependencies (like libnet or glib).

If you also supply the SRPM it should be fine.
