[syslog-ng] Eventlog NOT FOUND despite installation

[Paul Jasa]

Thanks.  The issue had to do with the pkg-config search path (defined by
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which was missing on my system).  In case it helps
anyone else, it was fixed by adding/editing the following lines on the
.bash_profile file in my home directory as follows:
 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/l
ocal/sbin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
export PATH

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

not a lot of people having this issue...
just check if evtlog is installed by doing: 
 pkg-config --list-all | grep event

if it's not installed, you will need to install it.

	Hi, Syslog-NG will not install, no matter what version (tried 5
	different ones 2.0.x, including the latest 2.1.3).  All the
installs end
	with the exact same error (pasted below) pointing to a missing
	"eventlog" (not sure whether it's called evtlog or eventlog, but
same
	thing).  I'm running RHEL 5.
	I've installed eventlog N times, including once with an RPM
found at
	www.pbone.net .  I see eventlog, it's there, but not where the
syslog-ng
	script wants it.
	
	Seems a LOT of people are having this same issue.   I looked
through the
	lists and tried several solutions to no avail. Could a
definitive fix be
	done to the eventlog installation script, and/or the syslog-ng
	installation script?
	
	Is there a known fix?
	
	Thanks.

	--------------Running ./configure on RHEL 5--------------
	
	checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
	checking for EVTLOG... no
	configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is
pkg-config in
	path?
