I think that you will find it more difficult to use version 1.6.x. Also, the 2.x series
is the only one that will continue to be developed.

Let's see if I can add a little less "skilled" instruction.

First, lets look at glibc where you have listed

glibc-2.3.2-88
glibc-devel-2.3.2-87

There are two with the same version of 2.3.2 (the -xx is a packaging revision number).

The first is the runable component that is used by applicaton when you run then.
The second (the -devel) is needed only if you are compiling/building applications that use glibc.

Now let's turn our attention to your problem, shich is glib2 and you list

glib2-2.2.3-21

There is nod -devel version. Because you are trying to compile/build syslog-ng you require the -devel version.

So, you need to install the package glib2-devel
Depending on your OS, you may use up2date, yum, apt or whatever package management system you have.

Once you have the glib2-devel installed you will get the .pc (package configuration) file that syslog-ng uses during the
build process.

I hope this is more clear.

Evan.
