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

Fri Apr 25 20:16:31 CEST 2008

That is interesting, Evan!  I did as you suggested (put the env AND the
configure on the same command line) and it worked swimmingly...  I don't
really understand the "why", but I can't argue with the results.  :o)

For clarification sake, here is what I was doing before that did not work:

1.) PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
2.) sudo ./configure --enable-spoof-source

Can someone tell me what the difference between that, and Evan's command
below, would be?  Thanks everyone, especially Evan and ScottO!

Note that the configure is using /usr/bin/pkg-config
and your eventlog.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

You need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH prior to running the .configure script
so that this path gets built into the make process.

I use

env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
--enable-spoof-source

to get the guild right.

Evan.
