Hi,
in the previous message I quoted:

web1:~/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-2.0.5+20071018 # rpm -qi glibc | grep Version
Version     : 2.3.2

Anyway:

web1:~/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-2.0.5+20071018 # rpm -qa | grep glib
glib-1.2.10-482
glibc-locale-2.3.2-87
glibc-2.3.2-88
glibc-info-2.3.2-87
glibc-devel-2.3.2-87
glib2-2.2.3-21

It seems to me that glibc is the right version, but the file
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc (or similar) is missing and the configure
try to look for that file. Am I right? Is there any workaround to that?

Thanks
Raffaele
