[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng 2.0/2.1 on Fedora Core 4

[Ivey, Chris]

Scott et. al.,
 
    OK, I am following along with the directions from the "compile
syslog-ng" page but am getting errors.  I have seen TONS of posts about
folks having this error, but I have not found a solution.  Here is a snip of
the output from the configure command:
 
sudo ./configure --enable-spoof-source
...
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... no
configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is pkg-config in
path?
 
I found the command the configure script runs, so I ran it manaully:
 
sudo /usr/bin/pkg-config --exists --print-errors eventlog
Package eventlog was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `eventlog.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'eventlog' found
 
env | grep PKG
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
 
ls -al /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  237 Apr 25 08:19 eventlog.pc
 
Can anyone help me figure this issue out?  Thanks in advance!

Those version numbers should obviously updated to the latest available, :)

On various versions of CentOS and Fedora, all I do is:

- ./configure;make;make install on eventlog-0.2.5.tar.gz (from syslog-ng
site) 
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 
- ./configure;make;make install on syslog-ng-2.0.5.tar.gz (from syslog-ng
site) 

I did also need to install the glib2-devel package, which I didn't have
already installed.

Hope that helps,

Scott

Hi folks!  I posted this question previously, but I am still not clear on
the process involved in putting a newer version of syslog-ng on my Fedora
Core 4 machines.  I need to upgrade, because my version (1.6.11) does not
support hi-res timestamps.  Can anyone provide some guidance as to how to go
about this process?  I got information previously to compile from source,
but I am not 100% clear on the process.  Any guidance from you fine folks
would be terribly appreciated!!!  Thanks, folks!
