Hi,

I'm new to syslog-ng and I'm trying to compile 3.0.1 on a RHEL 5.3 system.
I want to use the log to PostgreSQL features so I'm trying to enable
sql support. For this I've installed the libdbi packages:

root@:~-# yum list '*libdbi*'
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Installed Packages
libdbi.i386                        0.8.1-2.1                installed           
libdbi.x86_64                      0.8.1-2.1                installed           
libdbi-dbd-pgsql.x86_64            0.8.1a-1.2.2             installed           
libdbi-devel.i386                  0.8.1-2.1                installed           
libdbi-devel.x86_64                0.8.1-2.1                installed           
libdbi-drivers.x86_64              0.8.1a-1.2.2             installed      

However, a configure gives:

  SQL support                 : no

And a "./configure --enable-dynamic-linking --enable-sql" gives a

/home/henk/syslog-ng-3.0.1/src/afsql.c:672: undefined reference to `dbi_initialize'

in the make phase.

Any ideas what or which lib I am missing?

BTW:

a configure without --enable-dynamic-linking gives a

configure: error: static OpenSSL libraries not found (libssl.a and libcrypto.a)

although I have those files both in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64

I have PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, as is needed for eventlog.

Regards,
