[syslog-ng] Error encountered while building syslog-ng-2.1.3 on RHEL3

[Chanchal Verma]

Hi Kostyantyn,

I have checked that all required static libraries (.a) are available at 
/usr/lib location. I also created linked at /usr/local/lib for all 
requried libraries. It is giving same error messages.
Following libraries are checked available at /usr/lib:

libnsl.a
librt.a
libfl.a
libevtlog.a (Created linked from 
/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.1.3/eventlog/lib/libevtlog.a)
libnet.a
libwrap.a

Here below is error messages:

Hi Kostyantyn, 

Yes my compilation with --enable-dynamic-linking option works fine. I am 
facing problem while doing static compilation. I have followed the given 
steps but still getting error while doing 'make'. 
I am not sure how to use 'glib' option for compilation, I have 
libglib-2.0.a in '/usr/lib'. 
Now you really have problems with glibc :) . glib is just abstraction (on 
unix systems it use glibc).
